Is Transurban under- or over-valued?
Valuing Transurban stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Transurban's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Transurban's P/E ratio
Transurban's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 183x. In other words, Transurban shares trade at around 183x 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.
Transurban's PEG ratio
Transurban's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.31. 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 Transurban's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Transurban's EBITDA
Transurban's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2.2 billion (£1.1 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Transurban's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

We're not expecting Transurban to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Have Transurban's shares ever split?
Transurban's shares were split on a 500:1 basis on 28 November 1999. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 500 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Transurban shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 99.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Transurban shares which in turn could have impacted Transurban's share price.
