Valuing REA Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of REA Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
REA Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 64x. In other words, REA Group shares trade at around 64x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
REA Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $467.7 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a REA Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like REA Group is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 7.61/100

Dividend payout ratio: 52.65% of net profits
Recently REA Group has paid out, on average, around 52.65% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.92% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), REA Group shareholders could enjoy a 0.92% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In REA Group's case, that would currently equate to about A$1.31 per share.
REA Group'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 25 August 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
REA Group's shares were split on 14 May 2006.
Over the last 12 months, REA Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $116.273 up to $172.3132. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
