Valuing The Unite Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of The Unite Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
The Unite Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 13x. In other words, The Unite Group shares trade at around 13x 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.
The Unite Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.8. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into The Unite Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
The Unite Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £174.4 million.

The Unite Group's shares were split on a 1000:1008 basis on 6 March 2014. So if you had owned 1008 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your The Unite Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 0.8% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for The Unite Group shares which in turn could have impacted The Unite Group's share price.
