Valuing Viva Energy stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Viva Energy's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Viva Energy's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 51x. In other words, Viva Energy shares trade at around 51x 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.
Viva Energy's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $39.2 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Viva Energy's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 267.43% of net profits
Recently Viva Energy has paid out, on average, around 267.43% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.34% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Viva Energy shareholders could enjoy a 2.34% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Viva Energy's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.009 per share.
Viva Energy'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 4 October 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Viva Energy's shares were split on a 21:25 basis on 7 October 2020. So if you had owned 25 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 21 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Viva Energy shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 19% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Viva Energy shares which in turn could have impacted Viva Energy's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Viva Energy's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.3463 up to $2.1963. 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 Viva Energy's is 1.1474. This would suggest that Viva Energy's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
