Is Aggreko under- or over-valued?
Valuing Aggreko stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Aggreko's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Aggreko's P/E ratio
Aggreko's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, Aggreko shares trade at around 9x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the FTSE 250 at the end of September 2019 (19.71). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
However, Aggreko's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the rental & leasing services industry or those of similar companies.

Have Aggreko's shares ever split?
Aggreko's shares were split on a 79:83 basis on 28 May 2014. So if you had owned 83 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 79 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Aggreko shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 5.1% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Aggreko shares which in turn could have impacted Aggreko's share price.

This would suggest that Aggreko's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
To put Aggreko's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
