Valuing Santander Consumer USA stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Santander Consumer USA's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Santander Consumer USA's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 4x. In other words, Santander Consumer USA shares trade at around 4x 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.
Santander Consumer USA's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.6394. 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 Santander Consumer USA's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Dividend payout ratio: 10.53% of net profits
Recently Santander Consumer USA has paid out, on average, around 10.53% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.12% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Santander Consumer USA shareholders could enjoy a 2.12% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Santander Consumer USA's case, that would currently equate to about $0.66 per share.
While Santander Consumer USA's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Santander Consumer USA is investing more in its future growth.
Santander Consumer USA's most recent dividend payout was on 8 December 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 25 November 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Santander Consumer USA's shares were split on a 8:9 basis on 29 April 2015. So if you had owned 9 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 8 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Santander Consumer USA shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 12.5% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Santander Consumer USA shares which in turn could have impacted Santander Consumer USA's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Santander Consumer USA's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0 up to $0. 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 Santander Consumer USA's is 1.0142. This would suggest that Santander Consumer USA's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
