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 19x. In other words, Nufarm shares trade at around 19x 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 $350.5 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Nufarm's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 30.77% of net profits
Recently Nufarm has paid out, on average, around 30.77% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.58% 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 1.58% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Nufarm's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.04 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 26 May 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Nufarm's shares were split on 22 March 1994.
