Technical Analysis of Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc by TradingView

This chart is not advice or a guarantee of success. Rather, it gauges the real-time recommendations of three popular technical indicators: moving averages, oscillators and pivots. Finder is not responsible for how your stock performs.

Is Mid Penn Bancorp under- or over-valued?

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

Mid Penn Bancorp's P/E ratio

Mid Penn Bancorp'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, Mid Penn Bancorp 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 Mid Penn Bancorp shares

There are currently 53,150 Mid Penn Bancorp shares held short by investors – that's known as Mid Penn Bancorp's "short interest". This figure is 16.7% up from 45,553 last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Mid Penn Bancorp shares can be evaluated.

Mid Penn Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Mid Penn Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Mid Penn Bancorp shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Mid Penn Bancorp shares traded daily (recently around 14098.143236074). Mid Penn Bancorp's SIR currently stands at 3.77. In other words for every 100,000 Mid Penn Bancorp shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3770 shares are currently held short.

However Mid Penn Bancorp's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Mid Penn Bancorp shares, or, against the total number of tradable Mid Penn Bancorp shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Mid Penn Bancorp's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Mid Penn Bancorp shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0078% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Mid Penn Bancorp shares, roughly 8 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 Mid Penn Bancorp.

Mid Penn Bancorp share dividends

19%

Dividend payout ratio: 19.35% of net profits

Recently Mid Penn Bancorp has paid out, on average, around 19.35% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.18% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Mid Penn Bancorp shareholders could enjoy a 3.18% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Mid Penn Bancorp's case, that would currently equate to about $0.73 per share.

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

Mid Penn Bancorp's most recent dividend payout was on 22 February 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 9 February 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Mid Penn Bancorp's shares ever split?

Mid Penn Bancorp's shares were split on a 105:100 basis on 7 May 2007. So if you had owned 100 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 105 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Mid Penn Bancorp shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Mid Penn Bancorp shares which in turn could have impacted Mid Penn Bancorp's share price.

Mid Penn Bancorp share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Mid Penn Bancorp's shares have ranged in value from as little as $14.9337 up to $25.4457. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

MPB.US volatility(beta: 0.64)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Mid Penn Bancorp's is 0.6366. This would suggest that Mid Penn Bancorp's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
