Valuing Macquarie Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Macquarie Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Macquarie Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 15x. In other words, Macquarie Group shares trade at around 15x 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.
Macquarie Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.95. 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 Macquarie Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

TTM: trailing 12 months
Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Macquarie Group.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 23.99
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Macquarie Group's overall score of 23.99 (as at 01/01/2019) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 36th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Macquarie Group is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 4.84/100
Macquarie Group's environmental score of 4.84 puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Macquarie Group is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 12.68/100
Macquarie Group's social score of 12.68 puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Macquarie Group is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 11.47/100
Macquarie Group's governance score puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Macquarie Group is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Macquarie Group scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Macquarie Group has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
Macquarie Group Ltd was last rated for ESG on: 2019-01-01.
| Total ESG score | 23.99 |

Dividend payout ratio: 96.44% of net profits
Recently Macquarie Group has paid out, on average, around 96.44% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.25% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Macquarie Group shareholders could enjoy a 4.25% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Macquarie Group's case, that would currently equate to about A$7.05 per share.
Macquarie Group'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 13 November 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Macquarie Group's shares were split on a 0.9438:1 basis on 16 December 2013. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 0.9438 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Macquarie Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 6% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Macquarie Group shares which in turn could have impacted Macquarie Group's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Macquarie Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $152.8773 up to $187.8493. 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 Macquarie Group's is 1.147. This would suggest that Macquarie Group'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).
