Valuing Cogent Communications Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Cogent Communications Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Cogent Communications 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 113x. In other words, Cogent Communications Group shares trade at around 113x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Cogent Communications Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 85.8913. 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 Cogent Communications 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.
Cogent Communications Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $100.8 million.

Recently Cogent Communications 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), Cogent Communications Group shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Cogent Communications Group's case, that would currently equate to about $3.88 per share.
While Cogent Communications Group's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Cogent Communications Group is investing more in its future growth.
Cogent Communications Group's most recent dividend payout was on 5 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 21 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Cogent Communications Group's shares were split on a 1:20 basis on 23 March 2005 . So if you had owned 20 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Cogent Communications Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Cogent Communications Group shares which in turn could have impacted Cogent Communications Group's share price.
