Valuing Gilead Sciences stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Gilead Sciences's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Gilead Sciences's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 18x. In other words, Gilead Sciences shares trade at around 18x 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.
Gilead Sciences's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.517. 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 Gilead Sciences's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Gilead Sciences's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$13.2 billion (£10.8 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Gilead Sciences's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Gilead Sciences 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: 0.53/100

Dividend payout ratio: 39.29% of net profits
Recently Gilead Sciences has paid out, on average, around 39.29% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.63% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Gilead Sciences shareholders could enjoy a 4.63% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Gilead Sciences's case, that would currently equate to about $2.86 per share.
While Gilead Sciences's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Gilead Sciences may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Gilead Sciences's most recent dividend payout was on 29 June 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 June 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Gilead Sciences's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 28 January 2013. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Gilead Sciences shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Gilead Sciences shares which in turn could have impacted Gilead Sciences's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Gilead Sciences's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$55.9001 up to US$72.2839. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Gilead Sciences's is 0.3798. This would suggest that Gilead Sciences's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
