Valuing Cowen Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Cowen Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Cowen 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 18x. In other words, Cowen Group shares trade at around 18x 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.
Cowen Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.08. 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 Cowen 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.

Dividend payout ratio: 19.05% of net profits
Recently Cowen 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), Cowen Group shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Cowen Group's case, that would currently equate to about $0.48 per share.
While Cowen Group's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Cowen Group is investing more in its future growth.
Cowen Group's most recent dividend payout was on 14 March 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 27 February 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Cowen Group's shares were split on a 1:4 basis on 4 December 2016 . So if you had owned 4 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 Cowen Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Cowen Group shares which in turn could have impacted Cowen Group's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Cowen 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Cowen Group's is 1.4121. This would suggest that Cowen 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).
