Is BankFinancial Corporation under- or over-valued?

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

BankFinancial Corporation's P/E ratio

BankFinancial Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 21x. In other words, BankFinancial Corporation shares trade at around 21x 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.

BankFinancial Corporation's PEG ratio

BankFinancial Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.4. 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 BankFinancial Corporation'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 BankFinancial Corporation shares

There are currently 204,164 BankFinancial Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as BankFinancial Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 35.5% up from 150,720 last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting BankFinancial Corporation shares can be evaluated.

BankFinancial Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

BankFinancial Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of BankFinancial Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of BankFinancial Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 208330.6122449). BankFinancial Corporation's SIR currently stands at 0.98. In other words for every 100,000 BankFinancial Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 980 shares are currently held short.

However BankFinancial Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of BankFinancial Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable BankFinancial Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case BankFinancial Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 BankFinancial Corporation shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0211% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable BankFinancial Corporation shares, roughly 21 shares are currently held short).

Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against BankFinancial Corporation.

BankFinancial Corporation share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 91.5% of net profits

Recently BankFinancial Corporation has paid out, on average, around 91.5% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.5% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), BankFinancial Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 3.5% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In BankFinancial Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.4 per share.

BankFinancial Corporation'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.

BankFinancial Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 27 May 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 10 May 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

BankFinancial Corporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, BankFinancial Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $6.3854 up to $11.96. 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 BankFinancial Corporation's is 0.642. This would suggest that BankFinancial Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
