Valuing First National stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of First National's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
First National's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 8x. In other words, First National shares trade at around 8x 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.

Dividend payout ratio: 24.67% of net profits
Recently First National has paid out, on average, around 24.67% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.21% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), First National shareholders could enjoy a 3.21% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In First National's case, that would currently equate to about $0.54 per share.
While First National's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that First National is investing more in its future growth.
First National's most recent dividend payout was on 16 December 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 December 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
First National's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 2 May 2005. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your First National shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for First National shares which in turn could have impacted First National's share price.
Over the last 12 months, First National's shares have ranged in value from as little as $13.3496 up to $22.3425. 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 National's is 0.6223. This would suggest that First National's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
