Valuing APA Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of APA Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
APA 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 4x. In other words, APA Corporation shares trade at around 4x 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.
APA Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.1414. 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 APA 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.
APA Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $7.1 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a APA Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like APA Corporation 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.).

Dividend payout ratio: 9.53% of net profits
Recently APA Corporation has paid out, on average, around 9.53% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.04% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), APA Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 3.04% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In APA Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.438 per share.
While APA Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that APA Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
APA Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 22 November 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 20 October 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
APA Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 15 January 2004. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your APA Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for APA Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted APA Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, APA Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $20.274 up to $51.7645. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while APA Corporation's is 3.8138. This would suggest that APA Corporation's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
