Valuing Equinix stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Equinix's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Equinix's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 84x. In other words, Equinix shares trade at around 84x 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.
Equinix's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.8363. 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 Equinix's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Equinix's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2.5 billion.

Dividend payout ratio: 1.73% of net profits
Recently Equinix has paid out, on average, around 1.73% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.09% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Equinix shareholders could enjoy a 2.09% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Equinix's case, that would currently equate to about $11.94 per share.
While Equinix's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Equinix is investing more in its future growth.
Equinix's most recent dividend payout was on 20 September 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 15 August 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Equinix's shares were split on a 1:32 basis on 30 December 2002. So if you had owned 32 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 Equinix shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 3100% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Equinix shares which in turn could have impacted Equinix's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Equinix's shares have ranged in value from as little as $590.21 up to $842.007. 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 Equinix's is 0.493. This would suggest that Equinix's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
