Is Ellington Financial stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Ellington Financial stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Ellington Financial's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Ellington Financial's P/E ratio
Ellington Financial's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, Ellington Financial shares trade at around 11x 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.
Ellington Financial's PEG ratio
Ellington Financial's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.86. 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 Ellington Financial's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Ellington Financial share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 42.98% of net profits
Recently Ellington Financial has paid out, on average, around 42.98% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 11.97% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Ellington Financial shareholders could enjoy a 11.97% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Ellington Financial's case, that would currently equate to about $1.72 per share.
While Ellington Financial's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Ellington Financial may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Ellington Financial's most recent dividend payout was on 24 October 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Ellington Financial share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Ellington Financial's shares have ranged in value from as little as $10.154 up to $13.4. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Ellington Financial's is 1.983. This would suggest that Ellington Financial's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
