Valuing Mesa Royalty Trust stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Mesa Royalty Trust's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Mesa Royalty Trust's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 21x. In other words, Mesa Royalty Trust shares trade at around 21x 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.

Dividend payout ratio: 38.92% of net profits
Recently Mesa Royalty Trust 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), Mesa Royalty Trust shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Mesa Royalty Trust's case, that would currently equate to about $0.211 per share.
While Mesa Royalty Trust's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Mesa Royalty Trust may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Mesa Royalty Trust's most recent dividend payout was on 30 July 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 April 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Mesa Royalty Trust's shares were split on a 1:4 basis on 30 December 2013 . So if you had owned 4 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Mesa Royalty Trust shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Mesa Royalty Trust shares which in turn could have impacted Mesa Royalty Trust's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Mesa Royalty Trust's shares have ranged in value from as little as $4.8171 up to $9.7172. 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 Mesa Royalty Trust's is 0.511. This would suggest that Mesa Royalty Trust's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
