Valuing Equus Total Return Closed Fund stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Equus Total Return Closed Fund's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Equus Total Return Closed Fund's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 2x. In other words, Equus Total Return Closed Fund shares trade at around 2x 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.

We're not expecting Equus Total Return Closed Fund to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Equus Total Return Closed Fund's shares were split on a 110:100 basis on 28 November 2001. So if you had owned 100 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 110 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Equus Total Return Closed Fund shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 9.1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Equus Total Return Closed Fund shares which in turn could have impacted Equus Total Return Closed Fund's share price.
