Valuing Samsung stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Samsung's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Samsung's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.0006. 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 Samsung's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Samsung's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is KRW₩45,330.4 billion (£27.7 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Samsung's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

TTM: trailing 12 months
Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Samsung.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 32.93
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Samsung's overall score of 32.93 (as at 01/01/2019) is nothing to write home about – landing it in it in the 51st percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Samsung 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: 9.05/100
Samsung's environmental score of 9.05 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Samsung is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 13/100
Samsung's social score of 13 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Samsung is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 17.38/100
Samsung's governance score puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Samsung is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Controversy score: 4/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Samsung scored a 4 out of 5 for controversy – the second-lowest score possible, reflecting that Samsung has a damaged public profile.
Samsung Electronics Co Ltd was last rated for ESG on: 2019-01-01.

Dividend payout ratio: 23.02% of net profits
Recently Samsung has paid out, on average, around 23.02% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.52% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Samsung shareholders could enjoy a 2.52% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Samsung's case, that would currently equate to about ₩1805 per share.
While Samsung's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Samsung is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 26 September 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Samsung's shares were split on a 50:1 basis on 16 May 2018. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 50 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Samsung shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 98% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Samsung shares which in turn could have impacted Samsung's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Samsung's shares have ranged in value from as little as KRW₩53917.1444 up to KRW₩73600. 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 (KO average) beta is 1, while Samsung's is 0.872. This would suggest that Samsung's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
