All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. If you’re not sure which investments are right for you, please seek out a financial adviser. Capital at risk.
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.
Samsung's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 0x. In other words, Samsung shares trade at around 0x 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.
However, Samsung's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the consumer electronics industry or those of similar companies.
Samsung's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.6866. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Samsung's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Samsung's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
Samsung's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $94,884.5 billion (£90,443.9 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Samsung's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.

Dividend payout ratio: 18.6% of net profits
Samsung has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 3.06% of its share value annually.
Samsung has paid out, on average, around 18.6% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.06% 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 3.06% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Samsung's case, that would currently equate to about $1444 per share.
While Samsung's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 June 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Samsung's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
Over the last 12 months, Samsung's shares have ranged in value from as little as $943 up to $1685.2369. 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 Samsung's is 0.9936. This would suggest that Samsung's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
To put Samsung's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
