Valuing Star Bulk Carriers stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Star Bulk Carriers's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Star Bulk Carriers's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 3x. In other words, Star Bulk Carriers shares trade at around 3x 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.
Star Bulk Carriers's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.95. 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 Star Bulk Carriers'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: 81.15% of net profits
Recently Star Bulk Carriers has paid out, on average, around 81.15% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 29.73% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Star Bulk Carriers shareholders could enjoy a 29.73% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Star Bulk Carriers's case, that would currently equate to about $6.5 per share.
Star Bulk Carriers's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Star Bulk Carriers's most recent dividend payout was on 11 December 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 November 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Star Bulk Carriers's shares were split on a 1:5 basis on 19 June 2016. 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 Star Bulk Carriers shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Star Bulk Carriers shares which in turn could have impacted Star Bulk Carriers's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Star Bulk Carriers's shares have ranged in value from as little as $15.867 up to $28.9468. 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 Star Bulk Carriers's is 1.0366. This would suggest that Star Bulk Carriers'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).
