Valuing Bunge stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Bunge's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Bunge's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 6x. In other words, Bunge shares trade at around 6x 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.
Bunge's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.7053. 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 Bunge's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Bunge's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$2.7 billion (£2 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Bunge's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Bunge.
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: 32.85
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Bunge's overall score of 32.85 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 72nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Bunge 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.).
Environmental score: 10.68/100
Social score: 13.14/100
Governance score: 4.03/100
Controversy score: 3/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Bunge scored a 3 out of 5 for controversy – a middle-of-the-table result reflecting that Bunge hasn't always managed to keep its nose clean.
Bunge Limited was last rated for ESG on: 2019-01-01.

Dividend payout ratio: 16.59% of net profits
Recently Bunge has paid out, on average, around 16.59% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.13% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Bunge shareholders could enjoy a 2.13% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Bunge's case, that would currently equate to about $2.05 per share.
While Bunge's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Bunge is investing more in its future growth.
Bunge's most recent dividend payout was on 1 March 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 February 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Bunge's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$60.5759 up to US$99.93. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Bunge's is 0.6493. This would suggest that Bunge's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
