Valuing NewMarket Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of NewMarket Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
NewMarket Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 17x. In other words, NewMarket Corporation shares trade at around 17x 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.
NewMarket Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 5.09. 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 NewMarket Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
NewMarket Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$413.5 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a NewMarket Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 137,911 NewMarket Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as NewMarket Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 8.3% up from 127,368 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting NewMarket Corporation shares can be evaluated.
NewMarket Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of NewMarket Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of NewMarket Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 28494.008264463). NewMarket Corporation's SIR currently stands at 4.84. In other words for every 100,000 NewMarket Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4840 shares are currently held short.
However NewMarket Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of NewMarket Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable NewMarket Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case NewMarket Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 NewMarket Corporation shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0188% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable NewMarket Corporation shares, roughly 19 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against NewMarket Corporation.

Dividend payout ratio: 27.88% of net profits
Recently NewMarket Corporation has paid out, on average, around 27.88% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.92% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), NewMarket Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 1.92% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In NewMarket Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $7.6 per share.
While NewMarket Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that NewMarket Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

NewMarket Corporation's shares were split on a 1:5 basis on 1 July 2002. So if you had owned 5 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 NewMarket Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for NewMarket Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted NewMarket Corporation's share price.
