Valuing IAG stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of IAG's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
IAG's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 21x. In other words, IAG shares trade at around 21x 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.
IAG's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.5 billion (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a IAG's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

TTM: trailing 12 months
Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like IAG.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 21.49
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and IAG's overall score of 21.49 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 28th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like IAG is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 2.97/100
IAG's environmental score of 2.97 puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that IAG is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 11.75/100
IAG's social score of 11.75 puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that IAG is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 11.77/100
IAG's governance score puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that IAG is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. IAG scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that IAG has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
Insurance Australia Group Ltd was last rated for ESG on: 2019-01-01.

Dividend payout ratio: 48.72% of net profits
Recently IAG has paid out, on average, around 48.72% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.06% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), IAG shareholders could enjoy a 3.06% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In IAG's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.19 per share.
While IAG's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that IAG 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 20 February 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
IAG's shares were split on a 0.976:1 basis on 30 October 2018. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 0.976 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your IAG shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 2.5% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for IAG shares which in turn could have impacted IAG's share price.
Over the last 12 months, IAG's shares have ranged in value from as little as $4.6872 up to $6.54. 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 IAG's is 0.22. This would suggest that IAG's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
