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 15x. In other words, Loews Corporation shares trade at around 15x 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 USD$561 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Loews Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 2.6 million Loews Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Loews Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 2.5% down from 2.6 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Loews Corporation shares can be evaluated.
Loews Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Loews Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Loews Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 1.2 million). Loews Corporation's SIR currently stands at 2.13. In other words for every 100,000 Loews Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2130 shares are currently held short.
However Loews Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Loews Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Loews Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Loews Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Loews Corporation shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0117% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Loews Corporation shares, roughly 12 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Loews Corporation.

Dividend payout ratio: 57.76% of net profits
Recently Loews Corporation has paid out, on average, around 57.76% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.46% 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 0.46% 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.
Loews Corporation'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.
Loews Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 8 March 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 22 February 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 $27.1536 up to $54.33. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
