Valuing Otter Tail Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Otter Tail Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Otter Tail 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, Otter Tail 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.
Otter Tail Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.99. 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 Otter Tail 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.
Otter Tail Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $458 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Otter Tail Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 26% of net profits
Recently Otter Tail Corporation has paid out, on average, around 26% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.55% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Otter Tail Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 2.55% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Otter Tail Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.605 per share.
While Otter Tail Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Otter Tail Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Otter Tail Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 9 September 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 12 August 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Otter Tail Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 16 March 2000. 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 Otter Tail Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Otter Tail Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Otter Tail Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Otter Tail Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $55.3772 up to $82.46. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Otter Tail Corporation's is 0.4271. This would suggest that Otter Tail Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
