Valuing Hartford Financial Services Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Hartford Financial Services Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Hartford Financial Services 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 12x. In other words, Hartford Financial Services Group shares trade at around 12x 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.
Hartford Financial Services Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.41. 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 Hartford Financial Services 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.
Hartford Financial Services Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $4.2 billion.

Dividend payout ratio: 18.45% of net profits
Recently Hartford Financial Services Group has paid out, on average, around 18.45% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.59% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Hartford Financial Services Group shareholders could enjoy a 1.59% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Hartford Financial Services Group's case, that would currently equate to about $1.835 per share.
While Hartford Financial Services Group's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Hartford Financial Services Group is investing more in its future growth.
Hartford Financial Services Group's most recent dividend payout was on 1 October 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 2 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Hartford Financial Services Group's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 15 July 1998. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Hartford Financial Services Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Hartford Financial Services Group shares which in turn could have impacted Hartford Financial Services Group's share price.
