Valuing Avery Dennison stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Avery Dennison's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Avery Dennison's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 24x. In other words, Avery Dennison shares trade at around 24x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Avery Dennison's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.2239. 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 Avery Dennison's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Avery Dennison shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Avery Dennison's case, that would currently equate to about $3.38 per share.
While Avery Dennison's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Avery Dennison may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Avery Dennison's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 22 December 1996 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Avery Dennison shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Avery Dennison shares which in turn could have impacted Avery Dennison's share price.
