Valuing Olympic Steel stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Olympic Steel's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Olympic Steel's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 16x. In other words, Olympic Steel shares trade at around 16x 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.
Olympic Steel's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.46. 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 Olympic Steel's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Olympic Steel's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $78.2 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Olympic Steel's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 42.58% of net profits
Recently Olympic Steel 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), Olympic Steel shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Olympic Steel's case, that would currently equate to about $0.6 per share.
While Olympic Steel's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Olympic Steel may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Olympic Steel's most recent dividend payout was on 16 March 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 2 March 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Olympic Steel's shares have ranged in value from as little as $26.32 up to $57.6639. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Olympic Steel's is 1.501. This would suggest that Olympic Steel's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
