Valuing IPH stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of IPH's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
IPH's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 25x. In other words, IPH shares trade at around 25x 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.
IPH's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $152.1 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a IPH's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
