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.
Plus500's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 4x. In other words, Plus500 shares trade at around 4x recent earnings.
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.

TTM: trailing 12 months
Dividend yield: 0.11% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 8.01% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 28.23% of net profits
Plus500 has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 0.11% of its share value annually.
Plus500 has paid out, on average, around 28.23% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 8.01% 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 8.01% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Plus500's case, that would currently equate to about 149.5p per share.
While Plus500'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 24 February 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Plus500's shares have ranged in value from as little as 1153.595p up to 1657.5267p. 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 Plus500's is -0.0543. This would suggest that Plus500's shares have been inversely-correlated to the average (for this exchange) – so when the broader market trended up or down, Plus500 has bucked the trend.
