Valuing Nufarm stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Nufarm's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Nufarm's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 17x. In other words, Nufarm shares trade at around 17x 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.
Nufarm's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.97. 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 Nufarm's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Nufarm's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $340.6 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Nufarm's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 26.32% of net profits
Recently Nufarm has paid out, on average, around 26.32% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.02% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Nufarm shareholders could enjoy a 2.02% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Nufarm's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.1 per share.
While Nufarm's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Nufarm 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 21 November 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Nufarm's shares were split on a 1.0481:1 basis on 21 March 1994. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 1.0481 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Nufarm shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4.6% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Nufarm shares which in turn could have impacted Nufarm's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Nufarm's shares have ranged in value from as little as $4.2431 up to $6.0176. 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 Nufarm's is 0.556. This would suggest that Nufarm's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
