Valuing Telstra Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Telstra Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Telstra Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 26x. In other words, Telstra Corporation shares trade at around 26x 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.

Recently Telstra Corporation has paid out, on average, around 40% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.44% of the current stock value.

In Telstra Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.1 per share.
While Telstra Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Telstra Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 24 August 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Telstra Corporation's shares were split on 8 September 1999.
