Valuing Northern Star Resources stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Northern Star Resources's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Northern Star Resources's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 24x. In other words, Northern Star Resources shares trade at around 24x 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.
Northern Star Resources's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.9 billion (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Northern Star Resources's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 88.33% of net profits
Recently Northern Star Resources has paid out, on average, around 88.33% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.13% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Northern Star Resources shareholders could enjoy a 2.13% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Northern Star Resources's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.265 per share.
Northern Star Resources'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 5 September 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Northern Star Resources's shares were split on a 1.2679:1 basis on 10 September 2009. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 1.2679 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Northern Star Resources shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 21.1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Northern Star Resources shares which in turn could have impacted Northern Star Resources's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Northern Star Resources's shares have ranged in value from as little as $9.9039 up to $14.2484. 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 Northern Star Resources's is 0.578. This would suggest that Northern Star Resources's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
