Valuing Healthcare Services Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Healthcare Services Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Healthcare Services Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 33x. In other words, Healthcare Services Group shares trade at around 33x 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.
Healthcare Services Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.967. 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 Healthcare Services Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Healthcare Services Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $53.7 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Healthcare Services Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 2.12% of net profits
Recently Healthcare Services Group has paid out, on average, around 2.12% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.33% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Healthcare Services Group shareholders could enjoy a 6.33% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Healthcare Services Group's case, that would currently equate to about $0.848 per share.
While Healthcare Services Group's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Healthcare Services Group is investing more in its future growth.
Healthcare Services Group's most recent dividend payout was on 22 September 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 17 August 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Healthcare Services Group's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 14 November 2010. 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 Healthcare Services Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Healthcare Services Group shares which in turn could have impacted Healthcare Services Group's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Healthcare Services Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $12.64 up to $24.3854. 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 Healthcare Services Group's is 0.2157. This would suggest that Healthcare Services Group's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
