Valuing Ampol stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Ampol's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Ampol's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 41x. In other words, Ampol shares trade at around 41x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Ampol's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $550.2 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Ampol's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

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: 32.03
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Ampol's overall score of 32.03 (as at 01/01/2019) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 67th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Ampol 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.).

Governance score: 5.11/100

Dividend payout ratio: 6.9% of net profits
Recently Ampol has paid out, on average, around 6.9% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.81% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Ampol shareholders could enjoy a 5.81% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Ampol's case, that would currently equate to about A$2 per share.
While Ampol's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Ampol is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 September 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Ampol's shares were split on 6 April 1998.
Over the last 12 months, Ampol's shares have ranged in value from as little as $25.3955 up to $35.08. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
