Valuing National Security Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of National Security Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
National Security 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 51x. In other words, National Security Group shares trade at around 51x 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.
National Security Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a National Security Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 49.93% of net profits
Recently National Security Group has paid out, on average, around 49.93% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.47% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), National Security Group shareholders could enjoy a 1.47% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In National Security Group's case, that would currently equate to about $0.24 per share.
While National Security Group's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that National Security Group may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
National Security Group's most recent dividend payout was on 30 May 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 5 May 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
National Security Group's shares were split on 2 May 2001.
Over the last 12 months, National Security Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $8.8437 up to $16.4193. 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 National Security Group's is -0.3816. This would suggest that National Security Group's shares have been inversely-correlated to the average (for this exchange) – so when the broader market trended up or down, National Security Group has bucked the trend.
