Valuing Spark Infrastructure stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Spark Infrastructure's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Spark Infrastructure's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 65x. In other words, Spark Infrastructure shares trade at around 65x 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.
Spark Infrastructure's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.35. 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 Spark Infrastructure's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Spark Infrastructure's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $232 million (£131 million).

Dividend payout ratio: 4.56% of net profits
Recently Spark Infrastructure has paid out, on average, around 4.56% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.44% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Spark Infrastructure shareholders could enjoy a 4.44% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Spark Infrastructure's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.128 per share.
While Spark Infrastructure's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Spark Infrastructure is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 November 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
