Valuing Deswell Industries stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Deswell Industries's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Deswell Industries's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 6x. In other words, Deswell Industries shares trade at around 6x 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.
Deswell Industries's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $4.6 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Deswell Industries's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 148.15% of net profits
Recently Deswell Industries has paid out, on average, around 148.15% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.06% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Deswell Industries shareholders could enjoy a 6.06% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Deswell Industries's case, that would currently equate to about $0.2 per share.
Deswell Industries's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Deswell Industries's most recent dividend payout was on 21 December 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 June 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Deswell Industries's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 29 March 2005. 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 Deswell Industries shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Deswell Industries shares which in turn could have impacted Deswell Industries's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Deswell Industries's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.01 up to $5.2179. 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 Deswell Industries's is 0.4029. This would suggest that Deswell Industries's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
