Valuing Enact Holdings stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Enact Holdings's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Enact Holdings's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 8x. In other words, Enact Holdings shares trade at around 8x 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.
However, Enact Holdings's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the insurance - specialty industry or those of similar companies.

Dividend payout ratio: 17.64% of net profits
Recently Enact Holdings 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), Enact Holdings shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Enact Holdings's case, that would currently equate to about $0.71 per share.
While Enact Holdings's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Enact Holdings is investing more in its future growth.
