Valuing Adelaide Brighton stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Adelaide Brighton's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Adelaide Brighton's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 13x. In other words, Adelaide Brighton shares trade at around 13x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Adelaide Brighton's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 7.15. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Adelaide Brighton's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Adelaide Brighton's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $214.1 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Adelaide Brighton's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 31.45% of net profits
Recently Adelaide Brighton has paid out, on average, around 31.45% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.74% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Adelaide Brighton shareholders could enjoy a 5.74% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Adelaide Brighton's case, that would currently equate to about A$0 per share.
While Adelaide Brighton's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Adelaide Brighton may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 21 September 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Adelaide Brighton's shares were split on a 1.0106:1 basis on 6 March 2008. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 1.0106 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Adelaide Brighton shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Adelaide Brighton shares which in turn could have impacted Adelaide Brighton's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Adelaide Brighton's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.525 up to $2.82. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Adelaide Brighton's is 1.094. This would suggest that Adelaide Brighton's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
