Valuing Iress stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Iress's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Iress's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 30x. In other words, Iress shares trade at around 30x 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.
Iress's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $110.9 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Iress's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 49.3% of net profits
Recently Iress has paid out, on average, around 49.3% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.96% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Iress shareholders could enjoy a 3.96% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Iress's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.46 per share.
While Iress's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Iress 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 31 August 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Iress's shares have ranged in value from as little as $8.5263 up to $15.1345. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Iress's is 0.8979. This would suggest that Iress's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
