Valuing CDW stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of CDW's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
CDW's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 27x. In other words, CDW shares trade at around 27x recent earnings.
That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29).
CDW's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.53. 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 CDW's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
CDW's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a CDW's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 25.54% of net profits
Recently CDW has paid out, on average, around 25.54% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.12% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), CDW shareholders could enjoy a 1.12% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In CDW's case, that would currently equate to about $2.45 per share.
While CDW's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that CDW may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
CDW's most recent dividend payout was on 9 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 25 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, CDW's shares have ranged in value from as little as $183.0705 up to $261.97. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while CDW's is 1.032. This would suggest that CDW's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
