Valuing Sun Life Financial stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Sun Life Financial's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Sun Life 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 13x. In other words, Sun Life Financial shares trade at around 13x 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.
Sun Life Financial's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.1618. 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 Sun Life 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.
Sun Life Financial's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $4.7 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Sun Life Financial's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 36.19% of net profits
Recently Sun Life Financial has paid out, on average, around 36.19% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.77% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Sun Life Financial shareholders could enjoy a 4.77% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Sun Life Financial's case, that would currently equate to about $3.06 per share.
While Sun Life Financial's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Sun Life Financial may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Sun Life Financial's most recent dividend payout was on 27 June 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 May 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Sun Life Financial's shares have ranged in value from as little as $43.0955 up to $54.8116. 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 Sun Life Financial's is 0.945. This would suggest that Sun Life Financial's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
