Is Dexus under- or over-valued?
Valuing Dexus stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Dexus's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

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.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Dexus 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.).
Dexus's environmental score
Environmental score: 8.26/100
Dexus's environmental score of 8.26 puts it squarely in the 9th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Dexus is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Dexus's social score
Social score: 7.75/100
Dexus's social score of 7.75 puts it squarely in the 9th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Dexus is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

Dexus share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 130.25% of net profits
Recently Dexus has paid out, on average, around 130.25% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.06% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Dexus shareholders could enjoy a 6.06% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Dexus's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.521 per share.
Dexus'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 29 December 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Dexus's shares ever split?
Dexus's shares were split on a 1:6 basis on 4 November 2014. So if you had owned 6 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Dexus shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 500% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Dexus shares which in turn could have impacted Dexus's share price.
Dexus share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Dexus's shares have ranged in value from as little as $7.9557 up to $9.734. 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 (AU average) beta is 1, while Dexus's is 0.615. This would suggest that Dexus's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
