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.
Vector Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, Vector Group shares trade at around 9x 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.
Vector Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.96. 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 Vector Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Vector Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $355.7 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Vector Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Vector Group has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 6.71% of its share value annually.
Vector Group has paid out, on average, around 57.14% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.71% 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 6.71% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Vector Group's case, that would currently equate to about $0.8 per share.
Vector Group's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Vector Group's most recent dividend payout was on 29 March 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 20 March 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Vector Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $8.3471 up to $13.38. 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 Vector Group's is 0.9357. This would suggest that Vector Group's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
