Valuing AMERCO stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of AMERCO's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
AMERCO's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, AMERCO shares trade at around 9x 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.
AMERCO's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2.3 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a AMERCO's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
| Revenue TTM | $5.6 billion |
|---|---|

| Gross profit TTM | $1.6 billion |
| Return on assets TTM | 6.51% |
| Return on equity TTM | 21% |
| Profit margin | 19.82% |
| Book value | $304.34 |

TTM: trailing 12 months
Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like AMERCO.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 17.39
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and AMERCO's overall score of 17.39 (as at 01/01/2019) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 25th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like AMERCO is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 4.04/100
Social score: 8.01/100
Governance score: 5.34/100
Controversy score: 1/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. AMERCO scored a 1 out of 5 for controversy – the highest score possible, reflecting that AMERCO has managed to keep its nose clean.
Dividend payout ratio: 3.78% of net profits
Recently AMERCO has paid out, on average, around 3.78% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.38% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), AMERCO shareholders could enjoy a 0.38% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In AMERCO's case, that would currently equate to about $0 per share.
While AMERCO's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that AMERCO is investing more in its future growth.
AMERCO's most recent dividend payout was on 29 April 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 April 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, AMERCO's shares have ranged in value from as little as $499.75 up to $769.1966. 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 AMERCO's is 0.9679. This would suggest that AMERCO's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
