Valuing Steadfast stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Steadfast's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Steadfast's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 31x. In other words, Steadfast shares trade at around 31x recent earnings.
That's comparable to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14).
Steadfast's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $463.6 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Steadfast's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 1.67% of net profits
Recently Steadfast has paid out, on average, around 1.67% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.65% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Steadfast shareholders could enjoy a 2.65% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Steadfast's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.15 per share.
While Steadfast's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Steadfast is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 21 August 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Steadfast's shares have ranged in value from as little as $5.0755 up to $6.0828. 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 Steadfast's is 0.706. This would suggest that Steadfast's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
