Anglo American'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, Anglo American 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, Anglo American's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the other industrial metals & mining industry or those of similar companies.
Anglo American's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping £17.7 billion.

Dividend yield: 5.31% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 5.31% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 18.4% of net profits
Anglo American has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 5.31% of its share value annually.
Anglo American has paid out, on average, around 18.4% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.31% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 5.31% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Anglo American's case, that would currently equate to about 243p per share.
While Anglo American's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 19 August 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Anglo American's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
Anglo American's shares were split on a 91:100 basis on 2 July 2007. So if you had owned 100 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 91 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Anglo American shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 9.9% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Anglo American shares which in turn could have impacted Anglo American's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Anglo American's shares have ranged in value from as little as 2309.8938p up to 3493.0831p. 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 (LSE average) beta is 1, while Anglo American's is 1.2747. This would suggest that Anglo American's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
To put Anglo American's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
