Valuing MGIC Investment stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of MGIC Investment's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
MGIC Investment's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, MGIC Investment shares trade at around 9x 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.
MGIC Investment's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.54. 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 MGIC Investment's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
MGIC Investment's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a MGIC Investment's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 17.28% of net profits
Recently MGIC Investment 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), MGIC Investment shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In MGIC Investment's case, that would currently equate to about $0.505 per share.
While MGIC Investment's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that MGIC Investment is investing more in its future growth.
MGIC Investment's most recent dividend payout was on 20 May 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 May 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
MGIC Investment's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 2 June 1997 . 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 MGIC Investment shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for MGIC Investment shares which in turn could have impacted MGIC Investment's share price.
Over the last 12 months, MGIC Investment's shares have ranged in value from as little as $19.6907 up to $26.92. 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 MGIC Investment's is 0.905. This would suggest that MGIC Investment's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
