Valuing Volkswagen AG stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Volkswagen AG's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Volkswagen AG's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 4x. In other words, Volkswagen AG shares trade at around 4x recent earnings.
However, Volkswagen AG's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the auto manufacturers industry or those of similar companies.
Volkswagen AG's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.2888. 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 Volkswagen AG's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Volkswagen AG's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
Volkswagen AG's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$23.7 billion (£18.8 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Volkswagen AG's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put Volkswagen AG's EBITDA into context you can compare it against that of similar companies.

Dividend payout ratio: 88.6% of net profits
Recently Volkswagen AG has paid out, on average, around 88.6% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 8.2% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Volkswagen AG shareholders could enjoy a 8.2% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Volkswagen AG's case, that would currently equate to about $8.76 per share.
Volkswagen AG'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.
Volkswagen AG's most recent dividend payout was on 30 May 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 May 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Volkswagen AG's dividend payout ratio is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
Over the last 12 months, Volkswagen AG's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$10.37 up to US$14.297. 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 (PINK average) beta is 1, while Volkswagen AG's is 1.298. This would suggest that Volkswagen AG's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
To put Volkswagen AG's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
