Valuing Greif Bros Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Greif Bros Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Greif Bros Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 15x. In other words, Greif Bros Corporation shares trade at around 15x 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.
Greif Bros Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.25. 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 Greif Bros Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Greif Bros Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $707.5 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Greif Bros Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Recently Greif Bros Corporation 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), Greif Bros Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Greif Bros Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.52 per share.
While Greif Bros Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Greif Bros Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Greif Bros Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 30 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 15 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Greif Bros Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 11 April 2007 . 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 Greif Bros Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Greif Bros Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Greif Bros Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Greif Bros Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $55.4557 up to $70. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
