Valuing AmerisourceBergen stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of AmerisourceBergen's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
AmerisourceBergen's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 22x. In other words, AmerisourceBergen shares trade at around 22x 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.
AmerisourceBergen's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.5767. 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 AmerisourceBergen's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
AmerisourceBergen's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $3.4 billion.

Dividend payout ratio: 16.54% of net profits
Recently AmerisourceBergen has paid out, on average, around 16.54% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.08% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), AmerisourceBergen shareholders could enjoy a 1.08% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In AmerisourceBergen's case, that would currently equate to about $1.915 per share.
While AmerisourceBergen's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that AmerisourceBergen is investing more in its future growth.
AmerisourceBergen's most recent dividend payout was on 27 August 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 10 May 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
AmerisourceBergen's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 15 June 2009. 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 AmerisourceBergen shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for AmerisourceBergen shares which in turn could have impacted AmerisourceBergen's share price.
Over the last 12 months, AmerisourceBergen's shares have ranged in value from as little as $174.22 up to $193.8623. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while AmerisourceBergen's is 0.5622. This would suggest that AmerisourceBergen's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
