Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value.
Apax Global Alpha's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 3x. In other words, Apax Global Alpha shares trade at around 3x 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.

Apax Global Alpha has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 5.29% of its share value annually.
Apax Global Alpha has paid out, on average, around 15.21% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.29% 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 5.29% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Apax Global Alpha's case, that would currently equate to about 12.1p per share.
While Apax Global Alpha'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 26 August 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
