Valuing Transurban stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Transurban's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Transurban's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 183x. In other words, Transurban shares trade at around 183x 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.
Transurban's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.31. 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 Transurban's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Transurban's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2.2 billion (£1.1 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Transurban's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

We're not expecting Transurban to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Transurban's shares were split on a 500:1 basis on 28 November 1999. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 500 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Transurban shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 99.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Transurban shares which in turn could have impacted Transurban's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Transurban's shares have ranged in value from as little as $11.0455 up to $13.8212. 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 Transurban's is 0.626. This would suggest that Transurban's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
