Is First Community Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing First Community Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of First Community Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
First Community Corporation's P/E ratio
First Community Corporation'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, First Community Corporation 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.

First Community Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 24.13% of net profits
Recently First Community Corporation has paid out, on average, around 24.13% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.83% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), First Community Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 2.83% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In First Community Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.5 per share.
While First Community Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that First Community Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
First Community Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 16 May 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 May 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have First Community Corporation's shares ever split?
First Community Corporation's shares were split on a 5:4 basis on 28 February 2002. So if you had owned 4 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your First Community Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 20% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for First Community Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted First Community Corporation's share price.
First Community Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, First Community Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $17.55 up to $23.1225. 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 First Community Corporation's is 0.652. This would suggest that First Community Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
