Historical closes compared with the last close of $14.98
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 Kingstone Companies P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
Kingstone Companies's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 7x. In other words, Kingstone Companies's shares trade at around 7x recent earnings.
That's relatively low 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 low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Kingstone Companies's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $40.7 million (£30.5 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of Kingstone Companies's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 4.78% of net profits
Kingstone Companies has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 0.33% of its share value annually.
Kingstone Companies has paid out, on average, around 4.78% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.66% 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 0.66% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Kingstone Companies's case, that would currently equate to about 0.05 per share.
While Kingstone Companies's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.
Kingstone Companies's most recent dividend payout was on 25 November 2025. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 10 November 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

However, indirectly, the new 400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Kingstone Companies shares which in turn could have impacted Kingstone Companies's share price.
