Valuing Kemper Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Kemper Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Kemper Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 17x. In other words, Kemper Corporation shares trade at around 17x 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.
Kemper Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.29. 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 Kemper Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Kemper Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $614 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Kemper Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 19.02% of net profits
Recently Kemper Corporation 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), Kemper Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Kemper Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.24 per share.
While Kemper Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Kemper Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
Kemper Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 3 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 17 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Kemper Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 28 March 1999 . 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 Kemper Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Kemper Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Kemper Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Kemper Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $40.3074 up to $71.57. 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 Kemper Corporation's is 0.843. This would suggest that Kemper Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
