Valuing Heritage Financial Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Heritage Financial Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Heritage 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 12x. In other words, Heritage Financial Corporation shares trade at around 12x 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.
Heritage Financial Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.13. 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 Heritage 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.

Dividend payout ratio: 38.01% of net profits
Recently Heritage Financial Corporation has paid out, on average, around 38.01% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.08% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Heritage Financial Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 3.08% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Heritage Financial Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.83 per share.
While Heritage Financial Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Heritage Financial Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Heritage Financial Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 17 August 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 2 August 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Heritage Financial Corporation's shares were split on 28 September 2005.
Over the last 12 months, Heritage Financial Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $20.4354 up to $28.41. 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 Heritage Financial Corporation's is 0.5889. This would suggest that Heritage Financial Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
