Valuing Perpetual stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Perpetual's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Perpetual's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 31x. In other words, Perpetual shares trade at around 31x recent earnings.
That's comparable to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14).
Perpetual's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $212.1 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Perpetual's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 3.37% of net profits
Recently Perpetual has paid out, on average, around 3.37% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 9.63% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Perpetual shareholders could enjoy a 9.63% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Perpetual's case, that would currently equate to about A$1.2 per share.
While Perpetual's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Perpetual is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 September 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Perpetual's shares were split on 6 November 1989.
Over the last 12 months, Perpetual's shares have ranged in value from as little as $18.7 up to $26.0153. 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 Perpetual's is 1.345. This would suggest that Perpetual's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
