Valuing Dow stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Dow's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Dow's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 5x. In other words, Dow shares trade at around 5x 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.
Dow's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $11.5 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Dow's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 29.32% of net profits
Recently Dow has paid out, on average, around 29.32% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.34% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Dow shareholders could enjoy a 6.34% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Dow's case, that would currently equate to about $2.8 per share.
While Dow's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Dow may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Dow's most recent dividend payout was on 8 September 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 August 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Dow's shares have ranged in value from as little as $43.04 up to $70.1893. 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 Dow's is 1.3343. This would suggest that Dow's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
