Valuing Cogent Communications Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Cogent Communications Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Cogent Communications 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 140x. In other words, Cogent Communications Group shares trade at around 140x 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.
Cogent Communications Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.234. 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 Cogent Communications 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.
Cogent Communications Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $208.7 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Cogent Communications Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 39.5% of net profits
Recently Cogent Communications Group has paid out, on average, around 39.5% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.38% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Cogent Communications Group shareholders could enjoy a 5.38% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Cogent Communications Group's case, that would currently equate to about $3.47 per share.
While Cogent Communications Group's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Cogent Communications Group may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Cogent Communications Group's most recent dividend payout was on 1 December 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 16 November 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Cogent Communications Group's shares were split on a 1:20 basis on 23 March 2005. So if you had owned 20 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Cogent Communications Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Cogent Communications Group shares which in turn could have impacted Cogent Communications Group's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Cogent Communications Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $46.0113 up to $70.52. 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 Cogent Communications Group's is 0.376. This would suggest that Cogent Communications Group's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
