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.
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 16x. In other words, Prudential Financial shares trade at around 16x 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 71.7373. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth.
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 a whopping $4 billion (£3.6 billion).

Dividend yield: 5.6% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 5.6% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 40.02% of net profits
Prudential Financial has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 5.60% of its share value annually.
Prudential Financial has paid out, on average, around 40.02% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.6% 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 5.6% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Prudential Financial's case, that would currently equate to about $4.7 per share.
While Prudential Financial'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.
Prudential Financial's most recent dividend payout was on 14 September 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 21 August 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Prudential Financial's shares have ranged in value from as little as $85.46 up to $120.0714. 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 1.3983. 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).
