Valuing Amcor stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Amcor's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Amcor's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 20x. In other words, Amcor shares trade at around 20x 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.
Amcor's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 7.6909. 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 Amcor's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Amcor's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.8 billion (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Amcor's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

TTM: trailing 12 months
Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Amcor.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 79.23
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Amcor's overall score of 79.23 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 89th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Amcor is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 80.23/100
Amcor's environmental score of 80.23 puts it squarely in the 93rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Amcor is a laggard in its sector in terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a greater level of risk.
Social score: 77.06/100
Amcor's social score of 77.06 puts it squarely in the 82nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Amcor is a laggard in its sector in terms of its social impact.
Governance score: 77.55/100
Amcor's governance score puts it squarely in the 82nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Amcor is a laggard in its sector in terms of responsible leadership, and exposed to a greater level of risk.
Controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Amcor scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Amcor has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
Amcor PLC was last rated for ESG on: 2019-01-01.
| Total ESG score | 79.23 |
|---|---|
| Total ESG percentile | 88.94 |
| Environmental score | 80.23 |
| Environmental score percentile | 92.64 |
| Social score | 77.06 |
| Social score percentile | 81.78 |
| Governance score | 77.55 |
| Governance score percentile | 81.78 |
| Level of controversy | 2 |
Dividend payout ratio: 72.4% of net profits
Recently Amcor has paid out, on average, around 72.4% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.5% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Amcor shareholders could enjoy a 5.5% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Amcor's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.495 per share.
Amcor's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 26 February 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Amcor's shares were split on a 1.0687:1 basis on 19 August 2009. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 1.0687 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Amcor shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 6.4% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Amcor shares which in turn could have impacted Amcor's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Amcor's shares have ranged in value from as little as $12.9846 up to $15.8466. 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 Amcor's is 0.844. This would suggest that Amcor's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
