Valuing Aramark stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Aramark's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Aramark's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 20x. In other words, Aramark shares trade at around 20x 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.
Aramark's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.57. 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 Aramark's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Aramark's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.7 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Aramark's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 23.03% of net profits
Recently Aramark has paid out, on average, around 23.03% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.04% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Aramark shareholders could enjoy a 1.04% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Aramark's case, that would currently equate to about $0.38 per share.
While Aramark's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Aramark is investing more in its future growth.
Aramark's most recent dividend payout was on 2 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 18 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Aramark's shares were split on a 1385:1000 basis on 1 October 2023. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1385 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Aramark shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 27.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Aramark shares which in turn could have impacted Aramark's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Aramark's shares have ranged in value from as little as $23.6625 up to $36.68. 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 Aramark's is 1.644. This would suggest that Aramark's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
