Valuing Newmont stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Newmont's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Newmont's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 19x. In other words, Newmont shares trade at around 19x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Newmont's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.8224. 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 Newmont's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Newmont's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$5.3 billion (£3.9 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Newmont's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 6.6 million Newmont shares held short by investors – that's known as Newmont's "short interest". This figure is 16.7% down from 8.0 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Newmont shares can be evaluated.
Newmont's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Newmont shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Newmont shares traded daily (recently around 6.4 million). Newmont's SIR currently stands at 1.03. In other words for every 100,000 Newmont shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1030 shares are currently held short.
However Newmont's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Newmont shares, or, against the total number of tradable Newmont shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Newmont's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Newmont shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0111% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Newmont shares, roughly 11 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Newmont.

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: 26.2
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Newmont's overall score of 26.2 (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 Newmont 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: 11.88/100
Newmont's environmental score of 11.88 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Newmont is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 13.06/100
Newmont's social score of 13.06 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Newmont is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

Dividend payout ratio: 50% of net profits
Recently Newmont has paid out, on average, around 50% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.65% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Newmont shareholders could enjoy a 2.65% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Newmont's case, that would currently equate to about $1.6 per share.
Newmont'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.
Newmont's most recent dividend payout was on 28 December 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 10 December 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Newmont's shares were split on a 5:4 basis on 22 April 1994. So if you had owned 4 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Newmont shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 20% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Newmont shares which in turn could have impacted Newmont's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Newmont's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$32.5157 up to US$71.4657. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Newmont's is 0.1617. This would suggest that Newmont's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
