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. Check out the Nucor P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Nucor's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 5x. In other words, Nucor shares trade at around 5x 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.
Nucor's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.75. A PEG ratio below 1 can be interpreted as meaning the shares are not overvalued 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 Nucor's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Nucor's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $11.6 billion (£9.4 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Nucor's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
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 Nucor.
Nucor's total ESG risk: 38.15
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Nucor's overall score of 38.15 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 81st percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Nucor 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.).
Nucor's environmental score: 16.03/100
Nucor's environmental score of 16.03 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Nucor is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Nucor's social score: 12.79/100
Nucor's social score of 12.79 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Nucor is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

Nucor's governance score puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Nucor is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Nucor's controversy score: 3/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. A high-profile company, Nucor scored a 3 out of 5 for controversy – a middle-of-the-table result reflecting that Nucor hasn't always managed to keep its nose clean.
