Valuing Australian Ethical Investment stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Australian Ethical Investment's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Australian Ethical Investment's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 66x. In other words, Australian Ethical Investment shares trade at around 66x 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.
Australian Ethical Investment's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $14.6 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Australian Ethical Investment's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 43.75% of net profits
Recently Australian Ethical Investment has paid out, on average, around 43.75% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.93% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Australian Ethical Investment shareholders could enjoy a 0.93% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Australian Ethical Investment's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.05 per share.
While Australian Ethical Investment's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Australian Ethical Investment 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 1 September 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Australian Ethical Investment's shares were split on a 100:1 basis on 13 December 2018. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 100 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Australian Ethical Investment shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 99% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Australian Ethical Investment shares which in turn could have impacted Australian Ethical Investment's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Australian Ethical Investment's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.0358 up to $9.051. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Australian Ethical Investment's is 0.8044. This would suggest that Australian Ethical Investment's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
