Is Century Bancorp stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Century Bancorp's P/E ratio

Century 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 14x. In other words, Century Bancorp 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.

Century Bancorp share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 12.05% of net profits

Recently Century Bancorp has paid out, on average, around 12.05% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.62% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Century Bancorp shareholders could enjoy a 0.62% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Century Bancorp's case, that would currently equate to about $0.7 per share.

While Century Bancorp's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Century Bancorp is investing more in its future growth.
