Since the stock market crash in March caused by coronavirus, Volkswagen's share price has had significant negative movement.
Its last market close was $16.15, which is 9.88% down on its pre-crash value of $17.92 and 88.67% up on the lowest point reached during the March crash when the shares fell as low as $8.56.
If you had bought $1,000 worth of Volkswagen shares at the start of February 2020, those shares would have been worth $557.06 at the bottom of the March crash, and if you held on to them, then as of the last market close they'd be worth $903.27.

Valuing Volkswagen stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Volkswagen's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Volkswagen's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 6x. In other words, Volkswagen shares trade at around 6x recent earnings.
However, Volkswagen's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the auto manufacturers industry or those of similar companies.

Dividend payout ratio: 17.14% of net profits
Recently Volkswagen has paid out, on average, around 17.14% of 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), Volkswagen shareholders could enjoy a 3.06% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Volkswagen's case, that would currently equate to about $0.57 per share.
While Volkswagen's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Volkswagen is investing more in its future growth.
Volkswagen's most recent dividend payout was on 19 October 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 October 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Volkswagen's dividend payout ratio is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
Over the last 12 months, Volkswagen's shares have ranged in value from as little as $8.2558 up to $19.9064. 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 (PINK average) beta is 1, while Volkswagen's is 1.4858. This would suggest that Volkswagen's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
To put Volkswagen's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.

I would like to know whether I’m eligible to use the above brokers to buy VW stock. I am Ugandan and I currently live in Uganda.
Thank you.

Hi Wacha,
Thanks for getting in touch with finder. I hope all is well with you. :)
Typically, the trading platforms or brokers listed here are available only for people in Europe. You might want to check each broker and see if they are also available in Uganda. If not, you would need to directly check your own country’s list of brokers.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Joshua
