Valuing Prudential Financial stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Prudential Financial's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Prudential 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 21x. In other words, Prudential Financial shares trade at around 21x 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.
Prudential Financial's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.4286. 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 Prudential 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.
Prudential Financial's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $3.2 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Prudential Financial's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 42.22% of net profits
Recently Prudential Financial has paid out, on average, around 42.22% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.2% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Prudential Financial shareholders could enjoy a 4.2% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Prudential Financial's case, that would currently equate to about $5.05 per share.
While Prudential Financial's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Prudential Financial may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Prudential Financial's most recent dividend payout was on 12 June 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 19 May 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Prudential Financial's shares have ranged in value from as little as $84.8502 up to $128.525. 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 Prudential Financial's is 1.327. This would suggest that Prudential 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).
