Valuing CIT Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of CIT Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
CIT 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 8x. In other words, CIT Group shares trade at around 8x 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.
CIT Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.48. 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 CIT 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.

Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like CIT Group.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 31.21
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and CIT Group's overall score of 31.21 (as at 12/31/2018) is nothing to write home about – landing it in it in the 44th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like CIT Group is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 7.02/100
CIT Group's environmental score of 7.02 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that CIT Group is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 18.51/100
CIT Group's social score of 18.51 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that CIT Group is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 12.68/100
CIT Group's governance score puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that CIT Group is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Controversy score: 3/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. CIT Group scored a 3 out of 5 for controversy – a middle-of-the-table result reflecting that CIT Group hasn't always managed to keep its nose clean.

Dividend payout ratio: 20.29% of net profits
Recently CIT Group 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), CIT Group shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In CIT Group's case, that would currently equate to about $1.4 per share.
While CIT Group's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that CIT Group is investing more in its future growth.
CIT Group's most recent dividend payout was on 11 November 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 27 October 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, CIT Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0 up to $0. 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 CIT Group's is 1.4717. This would suggest that CIT Group's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
