Valuing VSE Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of VSE Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
VSE 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 17x. In other words, VSE Corporation shares trade at around 17x 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.
VSE Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.0779. 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 VSE 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.
VSE Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $76.9 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a VSE Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 14.13% of net profits
Recently VSE Corporation has paid out, on average, around 14.13% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.03% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), VSE Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 1.03% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In VSE Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.39 per share.
While VSE Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that VSE Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
VSE Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 15 November 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 31 October 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
VSE Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 3 August 2016. 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 VSE Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for VSE Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted VSE Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, VSE Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $31.85 up to $64.9536. 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 VSE Corporation's is 1.3572. This would suggest that VSE Corporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
