Valuing The Cheesecake Factory stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of The Cheesecake Factory's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
The Cheesecake Factory's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 18x. In other words, The Cheesecake Factory shares trade at around 18x 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.
The Cheesecake Factory's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.9965. 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 The Cheesecake Factory's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
The Cheesecake Factory's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $209.3 million.

Dividend payout ratio: 24.77% of net profits
Recently The Cheesecake Factory has paid out, on average, around 24.77% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.6% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), The Cheesecake Factory shareholders could enjoy a 3.6% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In The Cheesecake Factory's case, that would currently equate to about $0.27 per share.
While The Cheesecake Factory's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that The Cheesecake Factory is investing more in its future growth.
The Cheesecake Factory's most recent dividend payout was on 23 August 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 9 August 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
The Cheesecake Factory's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 9 December 2004. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your The Cheesecake Factory shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for The Cheesecake Factory shares which in turn could have impacted The Cheesecake Factory's share price.
Over the last 12 months, The Cheesecake Factory's shares have ranged in value from as little as $25.823 up to $48.6197. 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 The Cheesecake Factory's is 1.4183. This would suggest that The Cheesecake Factory's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
