Valuing Bluefield Solar Income Fund stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Bluefield Solar Income Fund's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Bluefield Solar Income Fund's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 10x. In other words, Bluefield Solar Income Fund shares trade at around 10x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the FTSE 250 at the end of September 2019 (19.71). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Dividend payout ratio: 57.93% of net profits
Recently Bluefield Solar Income Fund has paid out, on average, around 57.93% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.05% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Bluefield Solar Income Fund shareholders could enjoy a 6.05% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Bluefield Solar Income Fund's case, that would currently equate to about 0.081p per share.
Bluefield Solar Income Fund'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.
