Valuing Rea Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Rea Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Rea Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 88x. In other words, Rea Group shares trade at around 88x 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.
Rea Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $641.2 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Rea Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

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 Rea Group.
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: 20.78
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Rea Group's overall score of 20.78 (as at 12/31/2018) is excellent – landing it in it in the 17th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Rea Group 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: 7.61/100
Rea Group's environmental score of 7.61 puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Rea Group is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 13.28/100
Rea Group's social score of 13.28 puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Rea Group is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 10.89/100
Rea Group's governance score puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Rea Group is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

Dividend payout ratio: 74.07% of net profits
Recently Rea Group has paid out, on average, around 74.07% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.93% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Rea Group shareholders could enjoy a 0.93% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Rea Group's case, that would currently equate to about A$1.7 per share.
Rea Group'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 3 March 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Rea Group's shares were split on a 1.0151:1 basis on 14 May 2006. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 1.0151 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Rea Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1.5% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Rea Group shares which in turn could have impacted Rea Group's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Rea Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $122.4594 up to $193.916. 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 Rea Group's is 1.014. This would suggest that Rea Group's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
