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.

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.
However, Hochschild Mining's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the gold industry or those of similar companies.
Hochschild Mining's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £245.8 million.

Hochschild Mining has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 6.53% of its share value annually.
Hochschild Mining has paid out, on average, around 47.22% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.53% 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 6.53% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Hochschild Mining's case, that would currently equate to about 4.3p per share.
While Hochschild Mining'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.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 31 August 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Hochschild Mining's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
Over the last 12 months, Hochschild Mining's shares have ranged in value from as little as 51.1903p up to 166.9655p. 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 Hochschild Mining's is 1.2013. This would suggest that Hochschild Mining'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 Hochschild Mining's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
