Is Fulton Financial Corporation under- or over-valued?

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

Fulton Financial Corporation's P/E ratio

Fulton Financial 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 13x. In other words, Fulton Financial Corporation shares trade at around 13x 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 Fulton Financial Corporation shares

There are currently 3.5 million Fulton Financial Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Fulton Financial Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 18.7% down from 4.3 million last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Fulton Financial Corporation shares can be evaluated.

Fulton Financial Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Fulton Financial Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Fulton Financial Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Fulton Financial Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 901736.52849741). Fulton Financial Corporation's SIR currently stands at 3.86. In other words for every 100,000 Fulton Financial Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3860 shares are currently held short.

However Fulton Financial Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Fulton Financial Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Fulton Financial Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Fulton Financial Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Fulton Financial Corporation shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0247% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Fulton Financial Corporation shares, roughly 25 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 Fulton Financial Corporation.

Dividend payout ratio: 24.99% of net profits

Recently Fulton Financial Corporation has paid out, on average, around 24.99% of net profits as dividends.

However, indirectly, the new 4.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Fulton Financial Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Fulton Financial Corporation's share price.
