Valuing Service Stream stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Service Stream's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Service Stream's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 12x. In other words, Service Stream shares trade at around 12x 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.
Service Stream's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $58.4 million (£31 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Service Stream's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 61.53% of net profits
Recently Service Stream has paid out, on average, around 61.53% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 8.95% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Service Stream shareholders could enjoy a 8.95% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Service Stream's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.025 per share.
Service Stream'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 24 March 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Service Stream's shares were split on 1 June 2016. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Service Stream shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new INF% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Service Stream shares which in turn could have impacted Service Stream's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Service Stream's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.735 up to $2.4187. 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 Service Stream's is 0.6243. This would suggest that Service Stream's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
