Valuing ARB Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of ARB Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
ARB Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 34x. In other words, ARB Corporation shares trade at around 34x 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.
ARB Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $161.5 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a ARB Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 51.25% of net profits
Recently ARB Corporation has paid out, on average, around 51.25% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.64% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), ARB Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 1.64% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In ARB Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.69 per share.
ARB Corporation'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 2 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
ARB Corporation's shares were split on a 5:1 basis on 17 October 2002. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your ARB Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 80% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for ARB Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted ARB Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, ARB Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $27.1185 up to $43.3. 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 ARB Corporation's is 0.857. This would suggest that ARB Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
