Valuing Shaw Communications stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Shaw Communications's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Shaw Communications's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 19x. In other words, Shaw Communications shares trade at around 19x 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.
Shaw Communications's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.86. 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 Shaw Communications's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Dividend payout ratio: 18.34% of net profits
Recently Shaw Communications has paid out, on average, around 18.34% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.14% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Shaw Communications shareholders could enjoy a 3.14% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Shaw Communications's case, that would currently equate to about $1.185 per share.
While Shaw Communications's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Shaw Communications is investing more in its future growth.

Shaw Communications's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 2 August 2007. 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 Shaw Communications shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Shaw Communications shares which in turn could have impacted Shaw Communications's share price.
