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.
Exxon Mobil'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, Exxon Mobil shares trade at around 9x 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.
However, Exxon Mobil's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the oil & gas integrated industry or those of similar companies.
Exxon Mobil's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.5852. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Exxon Mobil'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 Exxon Mobil's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
Exxon Mobil's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $69.7 billion (£64.3 billion).

Dividend payout ratio: 35.77% of net profits
Exxon Mobil has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 4.10% of its share value annually.
Exxon Mobil has paid out, on average, around 35.77% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.1% 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 4.1% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Exxon Mobil's case, that would currently equate to about $3.51 per share.
While Exxon Mobil's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Exxon Mobil's most recent dividend payout was on 9 September 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 August 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Exxon Mobil's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
Over the last 12 months, Exxon Mobil's shares have ranged in value from as little as $56.1972 up to $104.5542. 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 Exxon Mobil's is 1.0611. This would suggest that Exxon Mobil'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 Exxon Mobil's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
