Valuing National Security Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of National Security Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
National Security Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 51x. In other words, National Security Group shares trade at around 51x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

Dividend payout ratio: 24.49% of net profits
Recently National Security Group has paid out, on average, around 24.49% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.47% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), National Security Group shareholders could enjoy a 1.47% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In National Security Group's case, that would currently equate to about $0.24 per share.
While National Security Group's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that National Security Group is investing more in its future growth.
