Valuing CRA International stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of CRA International's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
CRA International's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 30x. In other words, CRA International shares trade at around 30x 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.
CRA International's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.5156. 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 CRA International's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
CRA International's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $76.8 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a CRA International's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 24.34% of net profits
Recently CRA International 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), CRA International shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In CRA International's case, that would currently equate to about $1.68 per share.
While CRA International's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that CRA International is investing more in its future growth.
CRA International's most recent dividend payout was on 12 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 25 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, CRA International's shares have ranged in value from as little as $101.9906 up to $210.7. 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 CRA International's is 1.129. This would suggest that CRA International'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).
