Valuing Atmos Energy Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Atmos Energy Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Atmos Energy 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, Atmos Energy Corporation stocks 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 stocks or simply that they're under-valued.
Atmos Energy Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.1768. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Atmos Energy Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Atmos Energy Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$1.4 billion.

There are currently 2.1 million Atmos Energy Corporation stocks held short by investors – that's known as Atmos Energy Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 7.3% down from 2.3 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Atmos Energy Corporation stocks can be evaluated.
Atmos Energy Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Atmos Energy Corporation stocks currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Atmos Energy Corporation stocks traded daily (recently around 605293.35260116). Atmos Energy Corporation's SIR currently stands at 3.46. In other words for every 100,000 Atmos Energy Corporation stocks traded daily on the market, roughly 3460 stocks are currently held short.
However Atmos Energy Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Atmos Energy Corporation stocks, or, against the total number of tradable Atmos Energy Corporation stocks (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Atmos Energy Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding stocks (for every 100,000 Atmos Energy Corporation stocks in existence, roughly 20 stocks are currently held short) or 0.0161% of the tradable stocks (for every 100,000 tradable Atmos Energy Corporation stocks, roughly 16 stocks are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the stock price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Atmos Energy Corporation.

Dividend payout ratio: 46.99% of net profits
Recently Atmos Energy Corporation has paid out, on average, around 46.99% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.79% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Atmos Energy Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 2.79% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Atmos Energy Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $2.45 per share.
While Atmos Energy Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Atmos Energy Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Atmos Energy Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 7 September 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 20 August 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Atmos Energy Corporation stocks were split on a 3:2 basis on 17 May 1994. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Atmos Energy Corporation stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Atmos Energy Corporation stocks which in turn could have impacted Atmos Energy Corporation's stock price.
Over the last 12 months, Atmos Energy Corporation's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $83.5198 up to $103.6616. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Atmos Energy Corporation's is 0.3985. This would suggest that Atmos Energy Corporation's stocks are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
