Valuing Baker Hughes stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Baker Hughes's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Baker Hughes's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 18x. In other words, Baker Hughes shares trade at around 18x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Baker Hughes's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.9599. 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 Baker Hughes's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Baker Hughes's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$4 billion (£3.2 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Baker Hughes's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Over the last 12 months, Baker Hughes's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$26.1388 up to US$37.0983. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Baker Hughes's is 1.445. This would suggest that Baker Hughes's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Dividend payout ratio: 40.39% of net profits
Recently Baker Hughes has paid out, on average, around 40.39% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.57% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Baker Hughes shareholders could enjoy a 2.57% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Baker Hughes's case, that would currently equate to about $0.8 per share.
While Baker Hughes's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Baker Hughes may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Baker Hughes's most recent dividend payout was on 22 February 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 2 May 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
