Valuing Value Line stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Value Line's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Value Line's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 28x. In other words, Value Line shares trade at around 28x recent earnings.
That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29).
Value Line's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $12.4 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Value Line's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 50.03% of net profits
Recently Value Line has paid out, on average, around 50.03% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.53% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Value Line shareholders could enjoy a 1.53% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Value Line's case, that would currently equate to about $0.94 per share.
Value Line'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.
Value Line's most recent dividend payout was on 10 August 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 July 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Value Line's shares were split on a 1:35 basis on 21 July 2022. So if you had owned 35 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Value Line shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 3400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Value Line shares which in turn could have impacted Value Line's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Value Line's shares have ranged in value from as little as $29.8922 up to $118.4. 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 Value Line's is 0.181. This would suggest that Value Line's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
