Is 51job under- or over-valued?
Valuing 51job stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of 51job's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
51job's P/E ratio
51job's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 44x. In other words, 51job shares trade at around 44x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
51job's PEG ratio
51job's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 64.66. 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 51job's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
51job's EBITDA
51job's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $636.8 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a 51job's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

We're not expecting 51job to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Have 51job's shares ever split?
51job's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 7 August 2014. 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 51job shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for 51job shares which in turn could have impacted 51job's share price.
51job share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, 51job's shares have ranged in value from as little as $43.19 up to $79. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
