Valuing Suncorp stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Suncorp's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Suncorp's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 16x. In other words, Suncorp shares trade at around 16x 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.
Suncorp's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.9 billion (£1.1 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Suncorp's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

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 Suncorp.
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: 19.75
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Suncorp's overall score of 19.75 (as at 01/01/2019) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 23rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Suncorp 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: 1.82/100
Suncorp's environmental score of 1.82 puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Suncorp is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 8.06/100
Suncorp's social score of 8.06 puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Suncorp is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 8.87/100
Suncorp's governance score puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Suncorp is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Suncorp scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Suncorp has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
Suncorp Group Ltd was last rated for ESG on: 2019-01-01.

Dividend payout ratio: 44.29% of net profits
Recently Suncorp has paid out, on average, around 44.29% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.24% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Suncorp shareholders could enjoy a 4.24% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Suncorp's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.63 per share.
While Suncorp's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Suncorp 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 14 February 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Suncorp's shares were split on a 971:1000 basis on 30 September 2019. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 971 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Suncorp shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 3% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Suncorp shares which in turn could have impacted Suncorp's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Suncorp's shares have ranged in value from as little as $10.02 up to $12.9202. 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 Suncorp's is 0.7882. This would suggest that Suncorp's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
