Valuing IDP Education stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of IDP Education's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
IDP Education's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 114x. In other words, IDP Education shares trade at around 114x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
IDP Education's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $97.5 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a IDP Education's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 61.36% of net profits
Recently IDP Education has paid out, on average, around 61.36% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.02% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), IDP Education shareholders could enjoy a 1.02% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In IDP Education's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.135 per share.
IDP Education'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 3 March 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, IDP Education's shares have ranged in value from as little as $20.53 up to $40.0665. 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 IDP Education's is 1.1777. This would suggest that IDP Education's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
