Valuing Gamma Communications stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Gamma Communications's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Gamma Communications's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 43x. In other words, Gamma Communications shares trade at around 43x 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.
Gamma Communications's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £61.4 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Gamma Communications's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 2794.87% of net profits
Recently Gamma Communications has paid out, on average, around 2794.87% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.66% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Gamma Communications shareholders could enjoy a 0.66% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Gamma Communications's case, that would currently equate to about 0.11p per share.
Gamma Communications's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 24 September 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Gamma Communications's shares have ranged in value from as little as 902.5872p up to 1770p. 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 Gamma Communications's is 0.8248. This would suggest that Gamma Communications's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
