Valuing Qube stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Qube's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Qube's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 33x. In other words, Qube shares trade at around 33x recent earnings.
That's comparable to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14).
Qube's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $475 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Qube's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 78.72% of net profits
Recently Qube has paid out, on average, around 78.72% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.45% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Qube shareholders could enjoy a 2.45% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Qube's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.084 per share.
Qube'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 4 March 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Qube's shares were split on a 1.0384:1 basis on 19 November 2009. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 1.0384 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Qube shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 3.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Qube shares which in turn could have impacted Qube's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Qube's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.5729 up to $3.44. 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 Qube's is 0.874. This would suggest that Qube's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
