Valuing Silicon Motion Technology stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Silicon Motion Technology's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Silicon Motion Technology'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, Silicon Motion Technology 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.
Silicon Motion Technology's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $119.6 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Silicon Motion Technology's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 58.31% of net profits
Recently Silicon Motion Technology has paid out, on average, around 100% 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), Silicon Motion Technology shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Silicon Motion Technology's case, that would currently equate to about $2 per share.
Silicon Motion Technology'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.
Silicon Motion Technology's most recent dividend payout was on 21 May 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 May 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Silicon Motion Technology's shares have ranged in value from as little as $37.21 up to $83.5488. 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 Silicon Motion Technology's is 0.792. This would suggest that Silicon Motion Technology's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
