Valuing Loews Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Loews Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Loews 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 10x. In other words, Loews Corporation shares trade at around 10x 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.
Loews Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.69. 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 Loews Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Loews Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $3.4 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Loews Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 5.1% of net profits
Recently Loews Corporation has paid out, on average, around 5.1% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.41% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Loews Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0.41% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Loews Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.25 per share.
While Loews Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Loews Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
Loews Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 6 December 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 22 November 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Loews Corporation's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 8 May 2006. So if you had owned 1 share 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 Loews Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Loews Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Loews Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Loews Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $44.9047 up to $61.93. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
