Valuing News Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of News Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
News Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 27x. In other words, News Corporation shares trade at around 27x 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.
News Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.3162. 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 News Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
News Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.2 billion (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a News Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 24.1% of net profits
Recently News Corporation has paid out, on average, around 24.1% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.87% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), News Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0.87% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In News Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.2 per share.
While News Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that News Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 September 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, News Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $23.8181 up to $36.239. 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 News Corporation's is 1.4009. This would suggest that News Corporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
