Valuing Champion Iron stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Champion Iron's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Champion Iron's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 5x. In other words, Champion Iron shares trade at around 5x 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.
Champion Iron's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $920.1 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Champion Iron's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 19.16% of net profits
Recently Champion Iron has paid out, on average, around 19.16% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.12% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Champion Iron shareholders could enjoy a 4.12% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Champion Iron's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.21 per share.
While Champion Iron's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Champion Iron is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 June 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Champion Iron's shares were split on a 1:5 basis on 12 September 2012. So if you had owned 5 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Champion Iron shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Champion Iron shares which in turn could have impacted Champion Iron's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Champion Iron's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.8966 up to $8.0065. 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 Champion Iron's is 1.5826. This would suggest that Champion Iron's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
