Valuing Nelnet stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Nelnet's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Nelnet's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, Nelnet shares trade at around 9x 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.

Dividend payout ratio: 9.67% of net profits
Recently Nelnet has paid out, on average, around 9.67% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.11% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Nelnet shareholders could enjoy a 1.11% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Nelnet's case, that would currently equate to about $0.96 per share.
While Nelnet's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Nelnet is investing more in its future growth.
Nelnet'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").
Over the last 12 months, Nelnet's shares have ranged in value from as little as $72.539 up to $99.49. 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 Nelnet's is 0.8179. This would suggest that Nelnet's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
