Valuing Donegal Group A stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Donegal Group A's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Donegal Group A's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 66x. In other words, Donegal Group A shares trade at around 66x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Donegal Group A's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.06. 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 Donegal Group A's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Donegal Group A's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $13.4 million.

Dividend payout ratio: 4.89% of net profits
Recently Donegal Group A has paid out, on average, around 4.89% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.54% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Donegal Group A shareholders could enjoy a 4.54% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Donegal Group A's case, that would currently equate to about $0.683 per share.
While Donegal Group A's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Donegal Group A is investing more in its future growth.
Donegal Group A's most recent dividend payout was on 14 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 31 July 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Donegal Group A's shares were split on a 4:3 basis on 26 April 2006. So if you had owned 3 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Donegal Group A shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 25% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Donegal Group A shares which in turn could have impacted Donegal Group A's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Donegal Group A's shares have ranged in value from as little as $12.1174 up to $15.25. 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 Donegal Group A's is -0.074. This would suggest that Donegal Group A's shares have been inversely-correlated to the average (for this exchange) – so when the broader market trended up or down, Donegal Group A has bucked the trend.
