Valuing Ampol stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Ampol's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Ampol's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 10x. In other words, Ampol shares trade at around 10x 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.
Ampol's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.6 billion (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Ampol'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 Ampol.
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: 32.03
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Ampol's overall score of 32.03 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 67th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Ampol 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: 15.25/100
Social score: 7.16/100
Governance score: 5.11/100

Dividend payout ratio: 72.42% of net profits
Recently Ampol has paid out, on average, around 72.42% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.99% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Ampol shareholders could enjoy a 5.99% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Ampol's case, that would currently equate to about A$1.8 per share.
Ampol'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 29 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Ampol's shares were split on 5 April 1998.
Over the last 12 months, Ampol's shares have ranged in value from as little as $28.11 up to $41.5016. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
