Valuing Clear Secure stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Clear Secure's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Clear Secure's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 16x. In other words, Clear Secure shares trade at around 16x 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.
However, Clear Secure's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the software - application industry or those of similar companies.
Clear Secure's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $134.2 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Clear Secure's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 29.22% of net profits
Recently Clear Secure has paid out, on average, around 0% 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), Clear Secure shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Clear Secure's case, that would currently equate to about $0.415 per share.
While Clear Secure's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Clear Secure may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Clear Secure's most recent dividend payout was on 17 March 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 9 March 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

This would suggest that Clear Secure'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).
To put Clear Secure's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
