Valuing Pilbara Minerals stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Pilbara Minerals's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Pilbara Minerals's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 5x. In other words, Pilbara Minerals shares trade at around 5x 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.
Pilbara Minerals's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $3.3 billion (£1.7 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Pilbara Minerals's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 60.98% of net profits
Recently Pilbara Minerals has paid out, on average, around 60.98% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 7.76% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Pilbara Minerals shareholders could enjoy a 7.76% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Pilbara Minerals's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.25 per share.
Pilbara Minerals'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").
Pilbara Minerals's shares were split on a 1:5 basis on 31 March 2008. So if you had owned 5 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Pilbara Minerals shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Pilbara Minerals shares which in turn could have impacted Pilbara Minerals's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Pilbara Minerals's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.21 up to $5.2707. 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 Pilbara Minerals's is 1.424. This would suggest that Pilbara Minerals's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
