Valuing Graham stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Graham's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Graham'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, Graham 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.
Graham's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $496.9 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Graham's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 13.2% of net profits
Recently Graham 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), Graham shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Graham's case, that would currently equate to about $6.81 per share.
While Graham's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Graham is investing more in its future growth.
Graham's most recent dividend payout was on 6 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 16 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Graham's shares were split on a 1655:1000 basis on 30 June 2015 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1655 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Graham shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 39.6% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Graham shares which in turn could have impacted Graham's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Graham's shares have ranged in value from as little as $613.2543 up to $972.125. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Graham's is 1.114. This would suggest that Graham'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).
