Valuing Murphy Oil Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Murphy Oil Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Murphy Oil 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 10x. In other words, Murphy Oil Corporation 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.
Murphy Oil Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.3062. 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 Murphy Oil 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.
Murphy Oil Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.7 billion.

Dividend payout ratio: 36.36% of net profits
Recently Murphy Oil 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), Murphy Oil Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Murphy Oil Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.173 per share.
While Murphy Oil Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Murphy Oil Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Murphy Oil Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 1 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 17 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Murphy Oil Corporation's shares were split on a 1158:1000 basis on 2 September 2013 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1158 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Murphy Oil Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 13.6% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Murphy Oil Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Murphy Oil Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Murphy Oil Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $30.985 up to $48.4077. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
