Is CNA Financial Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing CNA Financial Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of CNA Financial Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
CNA Financial Corporation's P/E ratio
CNA Financial Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, CNA Financial Corporation shares trade at around 11x 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.
CNA Financial Corporation's PEG ratio
CNA Financial Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.21. 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 CNA Financial Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
CNA Financial Corporation's EBITDA
CNA Financial Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.8 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a CNA Financial Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

CNA Financial Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 35.66% of net profits
Recently CNA Financial Corporation has paid out, on average, around 35.66% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.56% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), CNA Financial Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 3.56% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In CNA Financial Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.72 per share.
While CNA Financial Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that CNA Financial Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
CNA Financial Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 28 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have CNA Financial Corporation's shares ever split?
CNA Financial Corporation's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 1 June 1998. 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 CNA Financial Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for CNA Financial Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted CNA Financial Corporation's share price.
CNA Financial Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, CNA Financial Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $37.2552 up to $52.36. 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 CNA Financial Corporation's is 0.664. This would suggest that CNA Financial Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
