Valuing Educational Development Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Educational Development Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Educational Development 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 5x. In other words, Educational Development Corporation 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.
Educational Development Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $8.6 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Educational Development Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 33.06% of net profits
Recently Educational Development Corporation has paid out, on average, around 33.06% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 14.23% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Educational Development Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 14.23% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Educational Development Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.3 per share.
While Educational Development Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Educational Development Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Educational Development Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 9 March 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 17 February 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Educational Development Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 22 August 2018. 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 Educational Development Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Educational Development Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Educational Development Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Educational Development Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.71 up to $10.1452. 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 Educational Development Corporation's is 0.8829. This would suggest that Educational Development Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
