Is Cortland Bancorp under- or over-valued?

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

Cortland Bancorp's P/E ratio

Cortland 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 12x. In other words, Cortland Bancorp shares trade at around 12x 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 Cortland Bancorp shares

There are currently 4,166 Cortland Bancorp shares held short by investors – that's known as Cortland Bancorp's "short interest". This figure is 461.5% up from 742 last month.

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

Cortland Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Cortland Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Cortland Bancorp shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Cortland Bancorp shares traded daily (recently around 2722.8758169935). Cortland Bancorp's SIR currently stands at 1.53. In other words for every 100,000 Cortland Bancorp shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1530 shares are currently held short.

However Cortland Bancorp's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Cortland Bancorp shares, or, against the total number of tradable Cortland Bancorp shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Cortland Bancorp's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Cortland Bancorp shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0011% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Cortland Bancorp shares, roughly 1 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 Cortland Bancorp.

Cortland Bancorp share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 25.37% of net profits

Recently Cortland Bancorp has paid out, on average, around 25.37% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.07% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Cortland Bancorp shareholders could enjoy a 2.07% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Cortland Bancorp's case, that would currently equate to about $0.57 per share.

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

Cortland Bancorp's most recent dividend payout was on 31 August 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 5 August 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Cortland Bancorp's shares ever split?

Cortland Bancorp's shares were split on a 101:100 basis on 4 March 2009. So if you had owned 100 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 101 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Cortland Bancorp shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Cortland Bancorp shares which in turn could have impacted Cortland Bancorp's share price.
