Valuing Origin Energy stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Origin Energy's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Origin Energy's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 10x. In other words, Origin Energy shares trade at around 10x 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.
Origin Energy's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.6 billion (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Origin Energy's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 38.34% of net profits
Recently Origin Energy has paid out, on average, around 38.34% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.06% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Origin Energy shareholders could enjoy a 6.06% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Origin Energy's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.475 per share.
While Origin Energy's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Origin Energy 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 4 March 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Origin Energy's shares were split on a 1.0299:1 basis on 23 February 2005. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 1.0299 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Origin Energy shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 2.9% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Origin Energy shares which in turn could have impacted Origin Energy's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Origin Energy's shares have ranged in value from as little as $7.0665 up to $9.2. 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 Origin Energy's is 1.235. This would suggest that Origin Energy's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
