Valuing Sandfire Resources stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Sandfire Resources's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Sandfire Resources'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, Sandfire Resources 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.
Sandfire Resources's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.5. 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 Sandfire Resources's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Sandfire Resources's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $340.1 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Sandfire Resources's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 35.9% of net profits
Recently Sandfire Resources has paid out, on average, around 35.9% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.56% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Sandfire Resources shareholders could enjoy a 5.56% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Sandfire Resources's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.207 per share.
While Sandfire Resources's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Sandfire Resources may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 15 March 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Sandfire Resources's shares were split on 27 July 2009.
Over the last 12 months, Sandfire Resources's shares have ranged in value from as little as $4.38 up to $7.4544. 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 Sandfire Resources's is 1.0904. This would suggest that Sandfire Resources'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).
