Valuing Argan stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Argan's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Argan's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 26x. In other words, Argan shares trade at around 26x 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.
Argan's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $90.5 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Argan's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 23.32% of net profits
Recently Argan has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Argan shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Argan's case, that would currently equate to about $1.35 per share.
While Argan's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Argan is investing more in its future growth.
Argan's most recent dividend payout was on 29 April 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 21 April 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Argan's shares were split on a 1:15 basis on 8 October 2001 . So if you had owned 15 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Argan shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Argan shares which in turn could have impacted Argan's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Argan's shares have ranged in value from as little as $60.2656 up to $190.5183. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Argan's is 0.433. This would suggest that Argan's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
