Is Farmers National Banc under- or over-valued?

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

Farmers National Banc's P/E ratio

Farmers National Banc'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, Farmers National Banc 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.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Farmers National Banc shares can be evaluated.

Farmers National Banc's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Farmers National Banc's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Farmers National Banc shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Farmers National Banc shares traded daily (recently around 43169.653767821).

However Farmers National Banc's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Farmers National Banc shares, or, against the total number of tradable Farmers National Banc shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Farmers National Banc's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Farmers National Banc shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0082% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Farmers National Banc shares, roughly 8 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 Farmers National Banc.

This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Farmers National Banc shareholders could enjoy a 3.34% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Farmers National Banc's case, that would currently equate to about $0.44 per share.

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

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Farmers National Banc shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 2% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Farmers National Banc shares which in turn could have impacted Farmers National Banc's share price.
