WOW shares
Founded in 1924, Woolworths is a leading retail operator in Australia and New Zealand, with over 3,000 stores and more than 100,000 employees. As one of Australia’s largest companies by revenue and market share, Woolworths plays a significant role in the region’s retail sector.
The company’s core operations include supermarkets (operating under the Woolworths brand in Australia and Countdown in New Zealand), discount department stores under the Big W brand, and business-to-business (B2B) services through brands like PFD. However, Woolworths’ dominant 35%+ market share in the Australian grocery sector remains its key strength.
WTC share price valuation
As a growth company, one way to put a rough guesstimate on the WTC share price could be to compare its price-to-sales multiple over time. This can tell us how the company has historically been valued relative to its total revenue.
Currently, WiseTech Global Ltd shares have a price-sales ratio of 38.87x, compared to its 5-year average of 31.86x, meaning its shares are trading above their historical average. This could mean that the share price has increased, or that sales have declined, or both. In the case of WTC, revenue has been growing over the last 3 years. Of course, context is important – and this is just one valuation technique. Investment decisions can’t just be based on one metric, but this can be a rough starting point.
Since it is a more of a ‘blue chip’ company, we could look at the dividend yield of WOW to determine its value. If we compare it to the historical dividend yield, we can get a sense of the stability of the company and its ability to pay out income. WOW is offering a trailing dividend yield of around 4.72%, which compares to its 5-year average of 2.92%. This is just one of many ways you could put a value on WOW shares. The Rask websites offer free online investing courses, created by analysts explaining valuation methods like Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) and Dividend Discount Models (DDM). They even include free valuation spreadsheets which can help you learn how to value a company like WTC or WOW.
