Valuing Iluka Resources stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Iluka Resources's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Iluka Resources's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, Iluka Resources shares trade at around 9x 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.
Iluka Resources's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $654.7 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Iluka Resources's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 28.82% of net profits
Recently Iluka Resources has paid out, on average, around 28.82% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.97% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Iluka Resources shareholders could enjoy a 0.97% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Iluka Resources's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.07 per share.
While Iluka Resources's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Iluka Resources may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 4 March 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Iluka Resources's shares were split on a 1.124:1 basis on 18 March 2008. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 1.124 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Iluka Resources shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 11% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Iluka Resources shares which in turn could have impacted Iluka Resources's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Iluka Resources's shares have ranged in value from as little as $6.2049 up to $11.9698. 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 Iluka Resources's is 1.1. This would suggest that Iluka Resources'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).
