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.
Aviva's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 46x. In other words, Aviva shares trade at around 46x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the FTSE 250 at the end of September 2019 (19.71). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
However, Aviva's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the insurance-diversified industry or those of similar companies.
Aviva's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 5.4607. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Aviva's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Aviva's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Aviva.
Aviva's total ESG risk: 26.64
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Aviva's overall score of 26.64 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 37th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Aviva is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
To gain some more context, you can compare Aviva's total ESG risk score against those of similar companies.
Aviva's environmental score: 4.45/100
Aviva's environmental score of 4.45 puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Aviva is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Aviva's social score: 14.07/100
Aviva's social score of 14.07 puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Aviva is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Aviva's governance score: 13.12/100
Aviva's governance score puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Aviva is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Aviva's controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. A high-profile company, Aviva scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Aviva has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.

Forward annual dividend yield: 6.48% of stock value
Aviva has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 6.48% of its share value annually.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 17 August 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Aviva's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
Over the last 12 months, Aviva's shares have ranged in value from as little as 334.2394p up to 472.094p. 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 Aviva's is 1.0549. This would suggest that Aviva'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 Aviva's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
