Valuing Vector Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Vector Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Vector 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 12x. In other words, Vector Group shares trade at around 12x 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.
Vector Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.96. 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 Vector Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Vector Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $363.8 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Vector Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 86.02% of net profits
Recently Vector Group 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), Vector Group shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Vector Group's case, that would currently equate to about $0.8 per share.
Vector Group'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.
Vector Group's most recent dividend payout was on 11 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Vector Group's shares were split on a 1.05:1 basis on 15 September 2019 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1.05 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Vector Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Vector Group shares which in turn could have impacted Vector Group's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Vector Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $8.9882 up to $15.3299. 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 Vector Group's is 1.002. This would suggest that Vector Group'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).
