Valuing Werner Enterprises stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Werner Enterprises's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Werner Enterprises's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 18x. In other words, Werner Enterprises shares trade at around 18x 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.
Werner Enterprises's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.07. 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 Werner Enterprises's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Werner Enterprises's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$480.6 million.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 1.3 million Werner Enterprises shares held short by investors – that's known as Werner Enterprises's "short interest". This figure is 36.4% down from 2.0 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Werner Enterprises shares can be evaluated.
Werner Enterprises's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Werner Enterprises shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Werner Enterprises shares traded daily (recently around 595235.61643836). Werner Enterprises's SIR currently stands at 2.19. In other words for every 100,000 Werner Enterprises shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2190 shares are currently held short.
However Werner Enterprises's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Werner Enterprises shares, or, against the total number of tradable Werner Enterprises shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Werner Enterprises's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Werner Enterprises shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0305% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Werner Enterprises shares, roughly 31 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Werner Enterprises.

Dividend payout ratio: 13.85% of net profits
Recently Werner Enterprises has paid out, on average, around 13.85% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.84% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Werner Enterprises shareholders could enjoy a 0.84% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Werner Enterprises's case, that would currently equate to about $0.36 per share.
While Werner Enterprises's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Werner Enterprises is investing more in its future growth.
Werner Enterprises's most recent dividend payout was on 19 January 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 31 December 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Werner Enterprises's shares were split on a 5:4 basis on 1 October 2003. So if you had owned 4 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Werner Enterprises shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 20% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Werner Enterprises shares which in turn could have impacted Werner Enterprises's share price.
