Valuing Woodside Energy Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Woodside Energy Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Woodside Energy Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 6x. In other words, Woodside Energy Group shares trade at around 6x 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.
Woodside Energy Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $11.6 billion (£6.1 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Woodside Energy Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 66.63% of net profits
Recently Woodside Energy Group has paid out, on average, around 66.63% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 10.64% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Woodside Energy Group shareholders could enjoy a 10.64% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Woodside Energy Group's case, that would currently equate to about A$2.24 per share.
Woodside Energy Group'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 31 August 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Woodside Energy Group's shares were split on a 1.0084:1 basis on 17 December 2009. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 1.0084 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Woodside Energy Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 0.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Woodside Energy Group shares which in turn could have impacted Woodside Energy Group's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Woodside Energy Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $29.9102 up to $38.79. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
