Valuing Bentley Systems Inc stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Bentley Systems Inc's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Bentley Systems Inc's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 66x. In other words, Bentley Systems Inc shares trade at around 66x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
However, Bentley Systems Inc's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the software-application industry or those of similar companies.
Bentley Systems Inc's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.5661. 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 Bentley Systems Inc's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Bentley Systems Inc's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
Bentley Systems Inc's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $204.4 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Bentley Systems Inc's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 13.64% of net profits
Recently Bentley Systems Inc has paid out, on average, around 13.64% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.51% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Bentley Systems Inc shareholders could enjoy a 0.51% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Bentley Systems Inc's case, that would currently equate to about $0.12 per share.
While Bentley Systems Inc's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Bentley Systems Inc is investing more in its future growth.
Bentley Systems Inc's most recent dividend payout was on 6 March 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 16 February 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").

Bentley Systems Inc's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 18 June 1996. So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Bentley Systems Inc shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Bentley Systems Inc shares which in turn could have impacted Bentley Systems Inc's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Bentley Systems Inc's shares have ranged in value from as little as $26.2547 up to $45.5865. 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 Bentley Systems Inc's is 1.237. This would suggest that Bentley Systems Inc's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
To put Bentley Systems Inc's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
