Valuing Downer Edi stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Downer Edi's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Downer Edi's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 13x. In other words, Downer Edi shares trade at around 13x 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.
Downer Edi's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 10.24. 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 Downer Edi's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Downer Edi's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $539.4 million (£307 million).

We're not expecting Downer Edi to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Downer Edi's shares were split on a 1:4 basis on 21 November 2003. So if you had owned 4 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 Downer Edi shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Downer Edi shares which in turn could have impacted Downer Edi's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Downer Edi's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.585 up to $8.7486. 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 Downer Edi's is 1.5562. This would suggest that Downer Edi's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
