Valuing Barrick Gold stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Barrick Gold's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Barrick Gold's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 23x. In other words, Barrick Gold shares trade at around 23x 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.
Barrick Gold's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.2216. 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 Barrick Gold's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Barrick Gold's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$4.8 billion (£3.9 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Barrick Gold's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Over the last 12 months, Barrick Gold's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$13.6461 up to US$20.2421. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Dividend payout ratio: 47.62% of net profits
Recently Barrick Gold has paid out, on average, around 47.62% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.43% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Barrick Gold shareholders could enjoy a 2.43% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Barrick Gold's case, that would currently equate to about $0.4 per share.
While Barrick Gold's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Barrick Gold may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
