Valuing Kronos Worldwide stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Kronos Worldwide's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Kronos Worldwide's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 8x. In other words, Kronos Worldwide shares trade at around 8x 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.
Kronos Worldwide's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $250.5 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Kronos Worldwide's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 55.88% of net profits
Recently Kronos Worldwide has paid out, on average, around 55.88% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.97% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Kronos Worldwide shareholders could enjoy a 6.97% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Kronos Worldwide's case, that would currently equate to about $0.75 per share.
Kronos Worldwide'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.
Kronos Worldwide's most recent dividend payout was on 14 December 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 November 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Kronos Worldwide's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 22 May 2011. 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 Kronos Worldwide shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Kronos Worldwide shares which in turn could have impacted Kronos Worldwide's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Kronos Worldwide's shares have ranged in value from as little as $8.3126 up to $19.1161. 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 Kronos Worldwide's is 1.0415. This would suggest that Kronos Worldwide's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
