Valuing Atmos Energy Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Atmos Energy Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Atmos Energy 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 17x. In other words, Atmos Energy Corporation shares trade at around 17x 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.
Atmos Energy Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.1768. 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 Atmos Energy 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.
Atmos Energy Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.4 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Atmos Energy Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 2.1 million Atmos Energy Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Atmos Energy Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 7.3% down from 2.3 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Atmos Energy Corporation shares can be evaluated.
Atmos Energy Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Atmos Energy Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Atmos Energy Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 605293.35260116). Atmos Energy Corporation's SIR currently stands at 3.46. In other words for every 100,000 Atmos Energy Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3460 shares are currently held short.
However Atmos Energy Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Atmos Energy Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Atmos Energy Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Atmos Energy Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Atmos Energy Corporation shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0161% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Atmos Energy Corporation shares, roughly 16 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Atmos Energy Corporation.

Dividend payout ratio: 46.99% of net profits
Recently Atmos Energy Corporation has paid out, on average, around 46.99% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.79% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Atmos Energy Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 2.79% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Atmos Energy Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $2.45 per share.
While Atmos Energy Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Atmos Energy Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Atmos Energy Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 6 September 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 19 August 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Atmos Energy Corporation's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 16 May 1994. So if you had owned 2 shares 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 Atmos Energy Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Atmos Energy Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Atmos Energy Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Atmos Energy Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $83.5198 up to $103.6616. 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 Atmos Energy Corporation's is 0.3985. This would suggest that Atmos Energy Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
