Is Hawthorn Bancshares under- or over-valued?

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

Hawthorn Bancshares's P/E ratio

Hawthorn Bancshares'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, Hawthorn Bancshares 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.

Shorting Hawthorn Bancshares shares

There are currently 31,161 Hawthorn Bancshares shares held short by investors – that's known as Hawthorn Bancshares's "short interest". This figure is 86% down from 221,898 last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Hawthorn Bancshares shares can be evaluated.

Hawthorn Bancshares's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Hawthorn Bancshares's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Hawthorn Bancshares shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Hawthorn Bancshares shares traded daily (recently around 54668.421052632). Hawthorn Bancshares's SIR currently stands at 0.57. In other words for every 100,000 Hawthorn Bancshares shares traded daily on the market, roughly 570 shares are currently held short.

However Hawthorn Bancshares's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Hawthorn Bancshares shares, or, against the total number of tradable Hawthorn Bancshares shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Hawthorn Bancshares's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Hawthorn Bancshares shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0054% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Hawthorn Bancshares shares, roughly 5 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 Hawthorn Bancshares.

Hawthorn Bancshares share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 16.21% of net profits

Recently Hawthorn Bancshares has paid out, on average, around 16.21% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.59% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Hawthorn Bancshares shareholders could enjoy a 2.59% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Hawthorn Bancshares's case, that would currently equate to about $0.485 per share.

While Hawthorn Bancshares's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Hawthorn Bancshares is investing more in its future growth.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Hawthorn Bancshares shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 3.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Hawthorn Bancshares shares which in turn could have impacted Hawthorn Bancshares's share price.
