Is Central Valley Community Bancorp under- or over-valued?

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

Central Valley Community Bancorp's P/E ratio

Central Valley Community Bancorp's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, Central Valley Community Bancorp shares trade at around 11x 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.

Central Valley Community Bancorp's PEG ratio

Central Valley Community Bancorp's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.2. 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 Central Valley Community Bancorp's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Central Valley Community Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Central Valley Community Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Central Valley Community Bancorp shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Central Valley Community Bancorp shares traded daily (recently around 157621.42857143).
