Valuing Coles Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Coles Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Coles 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 22x. In other words, Coles Group shares trade at around 22x 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.
However, Coles Group's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the grocery stores industry or those of similar companies.
Coles Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2.6 billion (£1.3 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Coles Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
To put Coles Group's EBITDA into context you can compare it against that of similar companies.

N/ADividend payout ratio: 78.28% of net profits
Recently Coles Group has paid out, on average, around 78.28% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.53% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Coles Group shareholders could enjoy a 3.53% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Coles Group's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.68 per share.
Coles 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 2 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Coles Group's dividend payout ratio is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
Over the last 12 months, Coles Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $14.2617 up to $19.4. 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 Coles Group's is 0.233. This would suggest that Coles Group's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
To put Coles Group's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
