Valuing Cogent Communications stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Cogent Communications's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Cogent Communications's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 133x. In other words, Cogent Communications shares trade at around 133x 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's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.5113. 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'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's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $199.5 million.

Dividend payout ratio: 6.34% of net profits
Recently Cogent Communications has paid out, on average, around 6.34% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.19% 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 shareholders could enjoy a 5.19% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Cogent Communications's case, that would currently equate to about $3.07 per share.
While Cogent Communications's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Cogent Communications is investing more in its future growth.
Cogent Communications's most recent dividend payout was on 2 December 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 17 November 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Cogent Communications'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 shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Cogent Communications shares which in turn could have impacted Cogent Communications's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Cogent Communications's shares have ranged in value from as little as $53.9299 up to $80.06. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
