Is Cadence Bancorporation under- or over-valued?

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

Cadence Bancorporation's P/E ratio

Cadence Bancorporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, Cadence Bancorporation shares trade at around 9x 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.

Shorting Cadence Bancorporation shares

There are currently 5.7 million Cadence Bancorporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Cadence Bancorporation's "short interest". This figure is 35.8% up from 4.2 million last month.

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

Cadence Bancorporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Cadence Bancorporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Cadence Bancorporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Cadence Bancorporation shares traded daily (recently around 1.0 million). Cadence Bancorporation's SIR currently stands at 5.47. In other words for every 100,000 Cadence Bancorporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5470 shares are currently held short.

However Cadence Bancorporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Cadence Bancorporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Cadence Bancorporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Cadence Bancorporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Cadence Bancorporation shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.0631% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Cadence Bancorporation shares, roughly 63 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 Cadence Bancorporation.

Cadence Bancorporation share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 77.78% of net profits

Recently Cadence Bancorporation has paid out, on average, around 77.78% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.83% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Cadence Bancorporation shareholders could enjoy a 1.83% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Cadence Bancorporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.3 per share.

Cadence Bancorporation'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.

Cadence Bancorporation's most recent dividend payout was on 16 November 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 October 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Cadence Bancorporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Cadence Bancorporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $4.532 up to $17.6672. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Cadence Bancorporation's is 1.8939. This would suggest that Cadence Bancorporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
