Since the stock market crash in March caused by coronavirus, Qantas's share price has had significant negative movement.
Its last close price was AUDA$4.84, which is 25.73% down on its pre-crash value of AUDA$6.51 and 138.18% up on the lowest point reached during the March crash when the shares fell as low as AUDA$2.03.
If you had bought AUDA$1,000 worth of Qantas shares at the start of February 2020, those shares would have been worth AUDA$378.35 at the bottom of the March crash, and if you held on to them, then as of the last market close they'd be worth AUDA$759.05.

Valuing Qantas stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Qantas's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Qantas's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 7x. In other words, Qantas shares trade at around 7x 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.
Qantas's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.52. 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 Qantas's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Qantas's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.5 billion (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Qantas's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

We're not expecting Qantas to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Qantas's shares were split on 27 October 2015. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Qantas shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new INF% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Qantas shares which in turn could have impacted Qantas's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Qantas's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.03 up to $6.6563. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Qantas's is 1.2099. This would suggest that Qantas'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).
