Valuing ASA Gold & Precious Metals stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of ASA Gold & Precious Metals 's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
ASA Gold & Precious Metals 's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 5x. In other words, ASA Gold & Precious Metals shares trade at around 5x 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.

Dividend payout ratio: 0.67% of net profits
Recently ASA Gold & Precious Metals 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), ASA Gold & Precious Metals shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In ASA Gold & Precious Metals 's case, that would currently equate to about $0.04 per share.
While ASA Gold & Precious Metals 's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that ASA Gold & Precious Metals is investing more in its future growth.
ASA Gold & Precious Metals 's most recent dividend payout was on 27 November 2018. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 4 May 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
ASA Gold & Precious Metals 's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 3 May 2010 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your ASA Gold & Precious Metals shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for ASA Gold & Precious Metals shares which in turn could have impacted ASA Gold & Precious Metals 's share price.
Over the last 12 months, ASA Gold & Precious Metals 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $16.9355 up to $31.9067. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
