Valuing Commerce Bancshares stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Commerce Bancshares's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Commerce Bancshares's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 25x. In other words, Commerce Bancshares shares trade at around 25x 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.
Commerce Bancshares's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.58. 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 Commerce Bancshares's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

There are currently 3.7 million Commerce Bancshares shares held short by investors – that's known as Commerce Bancshares's "short interest". This figure is 2.2% down from 3.7 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Commerce Bancshares shares can be evaluated.
Commerce Bancshares's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Commerce Bancshares shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Commerce Bancshares shares traded daily (recently around 476965.58018253). Commerce Bancshares's SIR currently stands at 7.67. In other words for every 100,000 Commerce Bancshares shares traded daily on the market, roughly 7670 shares are currently held short.
However Commerce Bancshares's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Commerce Bancshares shares, or, against the total number of tradable Commerce Bancshares shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Commerce Bancshares's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Commerce Bancshares shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0321% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Commerce Bancshares shares, roughly 32 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 Commerce Bancshares.

Dividend payout ratio: 40.82% of net profits
Recently Commerce Bancshares has paid out, on average, around 40.82% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.63% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Commerce Bancshares shareholders could enjoy a 1.63% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Commerce Bancshares's case, that would currently equate to about $1.08 per share.
While Commerce Bancshares's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Commerce Bancshares may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Commerce Bancshares's most recent dividend payout was on 18 December 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 December 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Commerce Bancshares's shares were split on a 105:100 basis on 1 December 2020. So if you had owned 100 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 105 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Commerce Bancshares shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Commerce Bancshares shares which in turn could have impacted Commerce Bancshares's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Commerce Bancshares's shares have ranged in value from as little as $42.7633 up to $67.7931. 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 Commerce Bancshares's is 0.978. This would suggest that Commerce Bancshares's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
