Valuing Gildan Activewear stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Gildan Activewear's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Gildan Activewear's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, Gildan Activewear shares trade at around 9x 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.
Gildan Activewear's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.3385. 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 Gildan Activewear's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Gildan Activewear's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $715.6 million.

Dividend payout ratio: 27.48% of net profits
Recently Gildan Activewear has paid out, on average, around 27.48% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.22% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Gildan Activewear shareholders could enjoy a 2.22% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Gildan Activewear's case, that would currently equate to about $0.661 per share.
While Gildan Activewear's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Gildan Activewear may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Gildan Activewear's most recent dividend payout was on 18 December 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 21 November 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Gildan Activewear's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 29 March 2015. 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 Gildan Activewear shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Gildan Activewear shares which in turn could have impacted Gildan Activewear's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Gildan Activewear's shares have ranged in value from as little as $25.3766 up to $41.0022. 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 Gildan Activewear's is 1.4521. This would suggest that Gildan Activewear's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
