Valuing AXIS Capital stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of AXIS Capital's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
AXIS Capital's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 10x. In other words, AXIS Capital shares trade at around 10x 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.
AXIS Capital's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.1 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a AXIS Capital's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like AXIS Capital.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 33.01
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and AXIS Capital's overall score of 33.01 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 62nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like AXIS Capital is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 1.16/100
AXIS Capital's environmental score of 1.16 puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that AXIS Capital is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 11.47/100
AXIS Capital's social score of 11.47 puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that AXIS Capital is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 14.38/100
AXIS Capital's governance score puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that AXIS Capital is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. AXIS Capital scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that AXIS Capital has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.

Dividend payout ratio: 14.94% of net profits
Recently AXIS Capital has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), AXIS Capital shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In AXIS Capital's case, that would currently equate to about $1.76 per share.
While AXIS Capital's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that AXIS Capital is investing more in its future growth.
AXIS Capital's most recent dividend payout was on 16 April 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 March 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
AXIS Capital's shares were split on a 5:1 basis on 11 September 2014 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your AXIS Capital shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 80% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for AXIS Capital shares which in turn could have impacted AXIS Capital's share price.
Over the last 12 months, AXIS Capital's shares have ranged in value from as little as $66.5956 up to $101.17. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while AXIS Capital's is 0.824. This would suggest that AXIS Capital's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
