Valuing CNO Financial Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of CNO Financial Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
CNO Financial 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 10x. In other words, CNO Financial Group shares trade at around 10x 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.
CNO Financial Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.58. 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 CNO Financial 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.
CNO Financial Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.1 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a CNO Financial Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Recently CNO Financial 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), CNO Financial Group shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In CNO Financial Group's case, that would currently equate to about $0.63 per share.
While CNO Financial Group's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that CNO Financial Group is investing more in its future growth.
CNO Financial Group's most recent dividend payout was on 23 March 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 9 March 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
CNO Financial Group's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 11 February 1997 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your CNO Financial Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for CNO Financial Group shares which in turn could have impacted CNO Financial Group's share price.
Over the last 12 months, CNO Financial Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $24.4526 up to $42.2387. 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 CNO Financial Group's is 1.044. This would suggest that CNO Financial Group'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).
