Valuing Flight Centre stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Flight Centre's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Flight Centre's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 39x. In other words, Flight Centre shares trade at around 39x 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.
Flight Centre's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.02. 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 Flight Centre's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Flight Centre's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $292.8 million (£150 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Flight Centre's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 69.39% of net profits
Recently Flight Centre has paid out, on average, around 69.39% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.88% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Flight Centre shareholders could enjoy a 0.88% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Flight Centre's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.28 per share.
Flight Centre'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 25 March 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Flight Centre's shares were split on a 1.0013:1 basis on 11 March 2003. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 1.0013 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Flight Centre shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 0.1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Flight Centre shares which in turn could have impacted Flight Centre's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Flight Centre's shares have ranged in value from as little as $17.532 up to $23.1782. 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 (AU average) beta is 1, while Flight Centre's is 1.635. This would suggest that Flight Centre's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
