Valuing SJW Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of SJW Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
SJW Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 32x. In other words, SJW Group shares trade at around 32x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
SJW Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.5595. 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 SJW Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
SJW Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $199.5 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a SJW Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 72.34% of net profits
Recently SJW Group has paid out, on average, around 72.34% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.99% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), SJW Group shareholders could enjoy a 1.99% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In SJW Group's case, that would currently equate to about $1.34 per share.
SJW Group'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.
SJW Group's most recent dividend payout was on 30 November 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 4 November 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
SJW Group's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 16 March 2006. 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 SJW Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for SJW Group shares which in turn could have impacted SJW Group's share price.
Over the last 12 months, SJW Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $57.1495 up to $73.69. 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 SJW Group's is 0.4551. This would suggest that SJW Group's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
