Valuing CVS Health Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of CVS Health Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
CVS Health Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 17x. In other words, CVS Health Corporation shares trade at around 17x 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.
CVS Health Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.0889. 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 CVS Health Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
CVS Health Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $17.8 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a CVS Health Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 26.52% of net profits
Recently CVS Health Corporation has paid out, on average, around 26.52% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.07% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), CVS Health Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 2.07% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In CVS Health Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $2 per share.
While CVS Health Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that CVS Health Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
CVS Health Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 31 January 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 19 January 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
CVS Health Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 6 June 2005. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your CVS Health Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for CVS Health Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted CVS Health Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, CVS Health Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $66.7817 up to $107.26. 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 CVS Health Corporation's is 0.8414. This would suggest that CVS Health Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
