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. Check out the ARC Document Solutions P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
ARC Document Solutions's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 31x. In other words, ARC Document Solutions's shares trade at around 31x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of March 2025 (25.37). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
ARC Document Solutions's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.6618. 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 ARC Document Solutions's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
ARC Document Solutions's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $25.1 million (£19 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of ARC Document Solutions's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
Forward annual dividend yield: 5.92% of stock value
ARC Document Solutions has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 5.92% of its share value annually.
ARC Document Solutions has paid out, on average, around 106.1% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.92% 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 5.92% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In ARC Document Solutions's case, that would currently equate to about 0.2 per share.
ARC Document Solutions'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.
ARC Document Solutions's most recent dividend payout was on 28 November 2024. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 30 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
ARC Document Solutions's fiscal year ends in December.
ARC Document Solutions's address is: 12657 Alcosta Boulevard, San Ramon, CA, United States, 94583

However, indirectly, the new 90% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for ARC Document Solutions shares which in turn could have impacted ARC Document Solutions's share price.
