Valuing AXIS Capital stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of AXIS Capital's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
AXIS Capital's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, AXIS Capital shares trade at around 11x 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.
AXIS Capital's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $680.5 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a AXIS Capital's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 17.46% of net profits
Recently AXIS Capital has paid out, on average, around 17.46% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.45% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), AXIS Capital shareholders could enjoy a 2.45% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In AXIS Capital's case, that would currently equate to about $1.76 per share.
While AXIS Capital's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that AXIS Capital is investing more in its future growth.
AXIS Capital's most recent dividend payout was on 17 July 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 27 June 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
AXIS Capital's shares were split on a 5:1 basis on 11 September 2014. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your AXIS Capital shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 80% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for AXIS Capital shares which in turn could have impacted AXIS Capital's share price.
Over the last 12 months, AXIS Capital's shares have ranged in value from as little as $51.7834 up to $74.82. 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 AXIS Capital's is 0.904. This would suggest that AXIS Capital's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
