Is E*TRADE Financial LLC under- or over-valued?
Valuing E*TRADE Financial LLC stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of E*TRADE Financial LLC's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
E*TRADE Financial LLC's P/E ratio
E*TRADE Financial LLC's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 14x. In other words, E*TRADE Financial LLC shares trade at around 14x 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.
E*TRADE Financial LLC's PEG ratio
E*TRADE Financial LLC's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 93.7928. 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 E*TRADE Financial LLC's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

There are currently 11.5 million E*TRADE Financial LLC shares held short by investors – that's known as E*TRADE Financial LLC's "short interest". This figure is 6.7% up from 10.8 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting E*TRADE Financial LLC shares can be evaluated.
E*TRADE Financial LLC's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
E*TRADE Financial LLC's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of E*TRADE Financial LLC shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of E*TRADE Financial LLC shares traded daily (recently around 1.9 million). E*TRADE Financial LLC's SIR currently stands at 6.04. In other words for every 100,000 E*TRADE Financial LLC shares traded daily on the market, roughly 6040 shares are currently held short.
However E*TRADE Financial LLC's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of E*TRADE Financial LLC shares, or, against the total number of tradable E*TRADE Financial LLC shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case E*TRADE Financial LLC's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 E*TRADE Financial LLC shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.059% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable E*TRADE Financial LLC shares, roughly 59 shares are currently held short).
A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against E*TRADE Financial LLC.

E*TRADE Financial LLC share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 23.73% of net profits
Recently E*TRADE Financial LLC has paid out, on average, around 23.73% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.12% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), E*TRADE Financial LLC shareholders could enjoy a 1.12% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In E*TRADE Financial LLC's case, that would currently equate to about $0.56 per share.
While E*TRADE Financial LLC's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that E*TRADE Financial LLC is investing more in its future growth.

Have E*TRADE Financial LLC's shares ever split?
E*TRADE Financial LLC's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 2 June 2010. So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your E*TRADE Financial LLC shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for E*TRADE Financial LLC shares which in turn could have impacted E*TRADE Financial LLC's share price.
E*TRADE Financial LLC share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, E*TRADE Financial LLC's shares have ranged in value from as little as $25.6046 up to $55.68. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

This would suggest that E*TRADE Financial LLC's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
