Valuing Lithia Motors stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Lithia Motors's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Lithia Motors'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, Lithia Motors 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.
Lithia Motors's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.5464. 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 Lithia Motors's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Lithia Motors's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2.2 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Lithia Motors's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 4.57% of net profits
Recently Lithia Motors has paid out, on average, around 4.57% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.67% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Lithia Motors shareholders could enjoy a 0.67% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Lithia Motors's case, that would currently equate to about $1.61 per share.
While Lithia Motors's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Lithia Motors is investing more in its future growth.
Lithia Motors's most recent dividend payout was on 17 November 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 8 November 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Lithia Motors's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 15 January 2018. So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Lithia Motors shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Lithia Motors shares which in turn could have impacted Lithia Motors's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Lithia Motors's shares have ranged in value from as little as $179.6394 up to $347.4603. 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 Lithia Motors's is 1.3861. This would suggest that Lithia Motors's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
