Valuing Gale Pacific stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Gale Pacific's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Gale Pacific's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 10x. In other words, Gale Pacific shares trade at around 10x 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.
Gale Pacific's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $23.5 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Gale Pacific's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 50% of net profits
Recently Gale Pacific has paid out, on average, around 50% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Gale Pacific shareholders could enjoy a 5% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Gale Pacific's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.02 per share.
Gale Pacific'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 September 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Gale Pacific's shares were split on a 120:100 basis on 12 February 2009. So if you had owned 100 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 120 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Gale Pacific shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 16.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Gale Pacific shares which in turn could have impacted Gale Pacific's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Gale Pacific's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.2237 up to $0.5176. 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 Gale Pacific's is 1.3997. This would suggest that Gale Pacific's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
