Valuing TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
TD Ameritrade Holding 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 11x. In other words, TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation shares trade at around 11x 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.
TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.53. 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 TD Ameritrade Holding 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.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 19.5 million TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 15.5% up from 16.9 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation shares can be evaluated.
TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 2.9 million). TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation's SIR currently stands at 6.64. In other words for every 100,000 TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 6640 shares are currently held short.
However TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.0639% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation shares, roughly 64 shares are currently held short).
A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation.

Dividend payout ratio: 34.57% of net profits
Recently TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation has paid out, on average, around 34.57% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.1% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 3.1% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.24 per share.
While TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 21 August 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 August 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 6 July 1999. 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 TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $27.2395 up to $51.2929. 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 TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation's is 1.1307. This would suggest that TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
