Is CIT Group stock undervalued or overvalued?
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 P/E ratio
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 PEG ratio
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.

CIT Group share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 20.29% of net profits
Recently CIT Group has paid out, on average, around 20.29% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.62% 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 2.62% 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").
CIT Group share price volatility
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).
