Valuing Metro stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Metro's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Metro's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.0447. 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 Metro's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Metro's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.8 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Metro's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 32.52% of net profits
Recently Metro 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), Metro shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Metro's case, that would currently equate to about $0.96 per share.
While Metro's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Metro may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Metro's most recent dividend payout was on 11 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 23 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Metro's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 11 February 2015 . 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 Metro shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Metro shares which in turn could have impacted Metro's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Metro's shares have ranged in value from as little as $49.6653 up to $67.07. 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 (PINK average) beta is 1, while Metro's is 0.074. This would suggest that Metro's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
