Valuing Imperial Oil stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Imperial Oil's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Imperial Oil'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, Imperial Oil shares trade at around 10x recent earnings.
Imperial Oil's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.85. 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 Imperial Oil's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Imperial Oil's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $8.4 billion.

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 Imperial Oil.
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: 46.58
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Imperial Oil's overall score of 46.58 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 95th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Imperial Oil 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: 29.6/100
Imperial Oil's environmental score of 29.6 puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Imperial Oil is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 13.46/100
Imperial Oil's social score of 13.46 puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Imperial Oil is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 13.02/100
Imperial Oil's governance score puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Imperial Oil is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Controversy score: 1/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Imperial Oil scored a 1 out of 5 for controversy – the highest score possible, reflecting that Imperial Oil has managed to keep its nose clean.
Imperial Oil Ltd was last rated for ESG on: 2019-01-01.

Dividend payout ratio: 19.4% of net profits
Recently Imperial Oil 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), Imperial Oil shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Imperial Oil's case, that would currently equate to about $2.52 per share.
While Imperial Oil's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Imperial Oil is investing more in its future growth.
Imperial Oil's most recent dividend payout was on 31 March 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 3 June 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Imperial Oil's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 29 May 2006 . So if you had owned 1 share 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 Imperial Oil shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Imperial Oil shares which in turn could have impacted Imperial Oil's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Imperial Oil's shares have ranged in value from as little as $58.76 up to $79.0997. 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 MKT average) beta is 1, while Imperial Oil's is 1.428. This would suggest that Imperial Oil's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
