Gilead Sciences's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 27 January 2013. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Gilead Sciences shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Gilead Sciences shares which in turn could have impacted Gilead Sciences's share price.

Valuing Gilead Sciences stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Gilead Sciences's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Gilead Sciences's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 1107x. In other words, Gilead Sciences shares trade at around 1107x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Gilead Sciences's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.578. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Gilead Sciences's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Gilead Sciences's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$13.9 billion (£11 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Gilead Sciences's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Over the last 12 months, Gilead Sciences's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$60.2439 up to US$100.51. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Gilead Sciences's is 0.192. This would suggest that Gilead Sciences's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).

Dividend payout ratio: 113.65% of net profits
Recently Gilead Sciences has paid out, on average, around 113.65% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.14% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Gilead Sciences shareholders could enjoy a 3.14% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Gilead Sciences's case, that would currently equate to about $3.06 per share.
Gilead Sciences'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.
Gilead Sciences's most recent dividend payout was on 29 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 12 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
