Is Value Line under- or over-valued?
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 P/E ratio
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 23x. In other words, Value Line shares trade at around 23x 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.
Value Line's EBITDA
Value Line's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $10 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Value Line's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Value Line share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 38.42% of net profits
Recently Value Line has paid out, on average, around 38.42% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.78% 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 1.78% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Value Line's case, that would currently equate to about $0.88 per share.
While Value Line's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Value Line may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Value Line's most recent dividend payout was on 11 May 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 April 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Value Line share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Value Line's shares have ranged in value from as little as $28.9025 up to $91.3444. 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 -0.0667. This would suggest that Value Line's shares have been inversely-correlated to the average (for this exchange) – so when the broader market trended up or down, Value Line has bucked the trend.
