Valuing Procter & Gamble Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Procter & Gamble Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Procter & Gamble Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 26x. In other words, Procter & Gamble Company shares trade at around 26x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Procter & Gamble Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 5.1476. 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 Procter & Gamble Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Procter & Gamble Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$21.2 billion (£15.4 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Procter & Gamble Company's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 14.3 million Procter & Gamble Company shares held short by investors – that's known as Procter & Gamble Company's "short interest". This figure is 17.9% down from 17.5 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Procter & Gamble Company shares can be evaluated.
Procter & Gamble Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Procter & Gamble Company shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Procter & Gamble Company shares traded daily (recently around 7.0 million). Procter & Gamble Company's SIR currently stands at 2.04. In other words for every 100,000 Procter & Gamble Company shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2040 shares are currently held short.
However Procter & Gamble Company's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Procter & Gamble Company shares, or, against the total number of tradable Procter & Gamble Company shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Procter & Gamble Company's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Procter & Gamble Company shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0059% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Procter & Gamble Company shares, roughly 6 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Procter & Gamble Company.

Dividend payout ratio: 46.77% of net profits
Recently Procter & Gamble Company has paid out, on average, around 46.77% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.5% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Procter & Gamble Company shareholders could enjoy a 2.5% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Procter & Gamble Company's case, that would currently equate to about $3.321 per share.
While Procter & Gamble Company's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Procter & Gamble Company may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Procter & Gamble Company's most recent dividend payout was on 15 August 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 20 October 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Procter & Gamble Company's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 20 June 2004. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Procter & Gamble Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Procter & Gamble Company shares which in turn could have impacted Procter & Gamble Company's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Procter & Gamble Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$119.2737 up to US$145.4585. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
