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.

Greggs has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 2.89% of its share value annually.
Greggs has paid out, on average, around 119.83% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.89% 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 2.89% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Greggs's case, that would currently equate to about 57p per share.
Greggs'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 7 September 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Greggs's shares have ranged in value from as little as 1766.2655p up to 3235.8884p. 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 Greggs's is 1.3108. This would suggest that Greggs's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
