Valuing Bega Cheese stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Bega Cheese's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Bega Cheese's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 15x. In other words, Bega Cheese shares trade at around 15x 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.
Bega Cheese's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $179.6 million (£0.0 million).

Dividend payout ratio: 75% of net profits
Recently Bega Cheese has paid out, on average, around 75% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.75% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Bega Cheese shareholders could enjoy a 2.75% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Bega Cheese's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.105 per share.
Bega Cheese'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 1 March 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Bega Cheese's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.76 up to $6.1702. 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 Bega Cheese's is 0.4189. This would suggest that Bega Cheese's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
