Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value.
Cisco Systems's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 15x. In other words, Cisco Systems shares trade at around 15x 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.
Cisco Systems's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.2137. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Cisco Systems's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Cisco Systems has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 3.50% of its share value annually.
Cisco Systems has paid out, on average, around 44.51% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.5% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 3.5% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Cisco Systems's case, that would currently equate to about $1.49 per share.
While Cisco Systems's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Cisco Systems's most recent dividend payout was on 26 July 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 4 July 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Cisco Systems's shares have ranged in value from as little as $41.02 up to $63.4737. 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 Cisco Systems's is 0.9823. This would suggest that Cisco Systems's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
