Valuing ESCO Technologies stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of ESCO Technologies's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
ESCO Technologies's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 27x. In other words, ESCO Technologies shares trade at around 27x recent earnings.
That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29).
ESCO Technologies's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.96. 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 ESCO Technologies's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
ESCO Technologies's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $142.7 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a ESCO Technologies's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 11.23% of net profits
Recently ESCO Technologies has paid out, on average, around 11.23% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.43% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), ESCO Technologies shareholders could enjoy a 0.43% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In ESCO Technologies's case, that would currently equate to about $0.32 per share.
While ESCO Technologies's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that ESCO Technologies is investing more in its future growth.
ESCO Technologies's most recent dividend payout was on 17 October 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 2 October 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
ESCO Technologies's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 25 September 2005. 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 ESCO Technologies shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for ESCO Technologies shares which in turn could have impacted ESCO Technologies's share price.
Over the last 12 months, ESCO Technologies's shares have ranged in value from as little as $59.9635 up to $95.6998. 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 ESCO Technologies's is 1.0416. This would suggest that ESCO Technologies'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).
