Is Worley under- or over-valued?
Valuing Worley stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Worley's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Worley's P/E ratio
Worley's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 79x. In other words, Worley shares trade at around 79x 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.
Worley's EBITDA
Worley's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $616.9 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Worley's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Worley share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 3.33% of net profits
Recently Worley has paid out, on average, around 3.33% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.32% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Worley shareholders could enjoy a 4.32% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Worley's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.5 per share.
While Worley's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Worley is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 February 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Worley share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Worley's shares have ranged in value from as little as $7.3786 up to $13.6944. 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 Worley's is 2.2272. This would suggest that Worley's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
