Is SEEK under- or over-valued?
Valuing SEEK stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of SEEK's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
SEEK's EBITDA
SEEK's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $317.4 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a SEEK's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

N/ASEEK share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 162.63% of net profits
Recently SEEK has paid out, on average, around 162.63% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.29% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), SEEK shareholders could enjoy a 1.29% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In SEEK's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.35 per share.
SEEK'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 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
SEEK share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, SEEK's shares have ranged in value from as little as $19.344 up to $26.8096. 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 SEEK's is 1.237. This would suggest that SEEK'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).
