Valuing IDEX Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of IDEX Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
IDEX 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 29x. In other words, IDEX Corporation shares trade at around 29x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
IDEX Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.7122. 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 IDEX 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.
IDEX Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $884.7 million.

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: 40.31
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and IDEX Corporation's overall score of 40.31 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 74th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like IDEX Corporation 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: 15.4/100
IDEX Corporation's environmental score of 15.4 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that IDEX Corporation is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 19.56/100
IDEX Corporation's social score of 19.56 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that IDEX Corporation is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

Dividend payout ratio: 35.61% of net profits
Recently IDEX 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), IDEX Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In IDEX Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $2.07 per share.
While IDEX Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that IDEX Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
IDEX Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 30 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 16 January 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
IDEX Corporation's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 21 May 2007 . So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your IDEX Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for IDEX Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted IDEX Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, IDEX Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $153.36 up to $237.4635. 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 IDEX Corporation's is 1.047. This would suggest that IDEX Corporation'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).
