Valuing Jacobs Solutions stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Jacobs Solutions's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Jacobs Solutions's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 28x. In other words, Jacobs Solutions shares trade at around 28x recent earnings.
That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29).
Jacobs Solutions's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.7636. 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 Jacobs Solutions's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Jacobs Solutions's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.5 billion.

Dividend payout ratio: 14.39% of net profits
Recently Jacobs Solutions has paid out, on average, around 14.39% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.81% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Jacobs Solutions shareholders could enjoy a 0.81% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Jacobs Solutions's case, that would currently equate to about $1.1 per share.
While Jacobs Solutions's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Jacobs Solutions is investing more in its future growth.
Jacobs Solutions's most recent dividend payout was on 22 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 25 July 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Jacobs Solutions's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 15 March 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 Jacobs Solutions shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Jacobs Solutions shares which in turn could have impacted Jacobs Solutions's share price.
