Valuing Tekla Healthcare Investors stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Tekla Healthcare Investors's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Tekla Healthcare Investors's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 5x. In other words, Tekla Healthcare Investors shares trade at around 5x recent earnings.
