Valuing Whitefield stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Whitefield 's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Whitefield 's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 66x. In other words, Whitefield shares trade at around 66x 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.

Dividend payout ratio: 157.69% of net profits
Recently Whitefield has paid out, on average, around 157.69% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.8% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Whitefield shareholders could enjoy a 3.8% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Whitefield 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.307 per share.
Whitefield '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 24 November 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Whitefield 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.5501 up to $5.49. 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 Whitefield 's is 0.5681. This would suggest that Whitefield 's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
