Valuing National Australia Bank stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of National Australia Bank's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
National Australia Bank's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 17x. In other words, National Australia Bank shares trade at around 17x 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.
National Australia Bank's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 6.81. 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 National Australia Bank's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Dividend payout ratio: 75.77% of net profits
Recently National Australia Bank has paid out, on average, around 75.77% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.51% of the current stock value.

In National Australia Bank's case, that would currently equate to about A$1.68 per share.
National Australia Bank'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.
