Valuing Vaalco Energy stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Vaalco Energy's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Vaalco Energy's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 7x. In other words, Vaalco Energy shares trade at around 7x 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.
Vaalco Energy's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.62. 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 Vaalco Energy's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Vaalco Energy's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $307.4 million.

Recently Vaalco Energy 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), Vaalco Energy shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Vaalco Energy's case, that would currently equate to about $0.25 per share.
While Vaalco Energy's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Vaalco Energy may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Vaalco Energy's most recent dividend payout was on 19 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 21 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
