Valuing Tyson Foods stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Tyson Foods's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Tyson Foods's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 8x. In other words, Tyson Foods shares trade at around 8x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Tyson Foods's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.7371. 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 Tyson Foods's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Tyson Foods's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$7.2 billion (£5.9 billion).

Dividend payout ratio: 17.96% of net profits
Recently Tyson Foods has paid out, on average, around 17.96% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.14% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Tyson Foods shareholders could enjoy a 2.14% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Tyson Foods's case, that would currently equate to about $1.835 per share.
While Tyson Foods's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Tyson Foods is investing more in its future growth.

Tyson Foods's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 18 February 1997. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Tyson Foods shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Tyson Foods shares which in turn could have impacted Tyson Foods's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Tyson Foods's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$68.3986 up to US$99.7093. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
