Valuing Incitec Pivot stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Incitec Pivot's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Incitec Pivot's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 20x. In other words, Incitec Pivot shares trade at around 20x 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.
Incitec Pivot's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.77. 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 Incitec Pivot's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Incitec Pivot's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $668.6 million (£349 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Incitec Pivot's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 5.82% of net profits
Recently Incitec Pivot has paid out, on average, around 5.82% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.66% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Incitec Pivot shareholders could enjoy a 3.66% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Incitec Pivot's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.15 per share.
While Incitec Pivot's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Incitec Pivot is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 January 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Incitec Pivot's shares were split on a 1.1074:1 basis on 13 November 2008. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 1.1074 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Incitec Pivot shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 9.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Incitec Pivot shares which in turn could have impacted Incitec Pivot's share price.
