Valuing Saga Communications stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Saga Communications's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

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.

Dividend payout ratio: 138.51% of net profits
Recently Saga Communications has paid out, on average, around 138.51% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 7% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Saga Communications shareholders could enjoy a 7% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Saga Communications's case, that would currently equate to about $1.6 per share.
Saga Communications's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Saga Communications's most recent dividend payout was on 17 October 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 24 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Saga Communications's shares were split on a 4:3 basis on 16 January 2013. So if you had owned 3 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Saga Communications shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 25% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Saga Communications shares which in turn could have impacted Saga Communications's share price.
