Is American National Bankshares under- or over-valued?

Valuing American National Bankshares stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of American National Bankshares's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

American National Bankshares's P/E ratio

American National Bankshares's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 10x. In other words, American National Bankshares shares trade at around 10x 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.

American National Bankshares's PEG ratio

American National Bankshares's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 5.19. 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 American National Bankshares's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Shorting American National Bankshares shares

There are currently 101,726 American National Bankshares shares held short by investors – that's known as American National Bankshares's "short interest". This figure is 4.5% down from 106,552 last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting American National Bankshares shares can be evaluated.

American National Bankshares's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

American National Bankshares's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of American National Bankshares shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of American National Bankshares shares traded daily (recently around 19413.358778626). American National Bankshares's SIR currently stands at 5.24. In other words for every 100,000 American National Bankshares shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5240 shares are currently held short.

However American National Bankshares's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of American National Bankshares shares, or, against the total number of tradable American National Bankshares shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case American National Bankshares's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 American National Bankshares shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0097% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable American National Bankshares shares, roughly 10 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 American National Bankshares.

American National Bankshares share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 31.03% of net profits

Recently American National Bankshares has paid out, on average, around 31.03% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.14% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), American National Bankshares shareholders could enjoy a 3.14% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In American National Bankshares's case, that would currently equate to about $1.08 per share.

While American National Bankshares's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that American National Bankshares may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

American National Bankshares's most recent dividend payout was on 16 September 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 September 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have American National Bankshares's shares ever split?

American National Bankshares's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 15 July 1999. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your American National Bankshares shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for American National Bankshares shares which in turn could have impacted American National Bankshares's share price.

American National Bankshares share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, American National Bankshares's shares have ranged in value from as little as $21.2179 up to $35.9352. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while American National Bankshares's is 1.1423. This would suggest that American National Bankshares's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
