Is Hanmi Financial Corporation under- or over-valued?

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

Hanmi Financial Corporation's P/E ratio

Hanmi 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 11x. In other words, Hanmi Financial Corporation shares trade at around 11x 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.

Hanmi Financial Corporation's PEG ratio

Hanmi Financial Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.14. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Hanmi Financial Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Shorting Hanmi Financial Corporation shares

There are currently 397,102 Hanmi Financial Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Hanmi Financial Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 35% up from 294,110 last month.

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

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

Hanmi Financial Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Hanmi Financial Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Hanmi Financial Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 257858.44155844). Hanmi Financial Corporation's SIR currently stands at 1.54. In other words for every 100,000 Hanmi Financial Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1540 shares are currently held short.

However Hanmi Financial Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Hanmi Financial Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Hanmi Financial Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Hanmi Financial Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Hanmi Financial Corporation shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0123% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Hanmi Financial Corporation shares, roughly 12 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 Hanmi Financial Corporation.

Hanmi Financial Corporation share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 42.11% of net profits

Recently Hanmi Financial Corporation has paid out, on average, around 42.11% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.79% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Hanmi Financial Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 2.79% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Hanmi Financial Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.32 per share.

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

Hanmi Financial Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 30 November 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 November 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Hanmi Financial Corporation's shares ever split?

Hanmi Financial Corporation's shares were split on a 1:8 basis on 19 December 2011. So if you had owned 8 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Hanmi Financial Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 700% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Hanmi Financial Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Hanmi Financial Corporation's share price.

Hanmi Financial Corporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Hanmi Financial Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $7.0346 up to $19.3314. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
