Is Banner Corporation under- or over-valued?

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

Banner Corporation's P/E ratio

Banner 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 14x. In other words, Banner Corporation shares trade at around 14x 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.

Banner Corporation's PEG ratio

Banner Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.18. 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 Banner 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 Banner Corporation shares

There are currently 798,899 Banner Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Banner Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 7.8% down from 866,596 last month.

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

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

Banner Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Banner Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Banner Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 182814.41647597). Banner Corporation's SIR currently stands at 4.37. In other words for every 100,000 Banner Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4370 shares are currently held short.

However Banner Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Banner Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Banner Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Banner Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Banner Corporation shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0314% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Banner Corporation shares, roughly 31 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 Banner Corporation.

Banner Corporation share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 34.77% of net profits

Recently Banner Corporation has paid out, on average, around 34.77% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.83% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Banner Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 2.83% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Banner Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.23 per share.

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

Banner Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 13 May 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 3 May 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Banner Corporation's shares ever split?

Banner Corporation's shares were split on a 1:7 basis on 31 May 2011. So if you had owned 7 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Banner Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 600% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Banner Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Banner Corporation's share price.

Banner Corporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Banner Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $26.8987 up to $60.42. 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 Banner Corporation's is 1.1136. This would suggest that Banner Corporation'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).
