Valuing Northwest Bancshares stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Northwest Bancshares's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Northwest 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 14x. In other words, Northwest Bancshares shares trade at around 14x 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.
Northwest Bancshares's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.87. 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 Northwest Bancshares'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: 80.81% of net profits
Recently Northwest Bancshares has paid out, on average, around 80.81% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.7% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Northwest Bancshares shareholders could enjoy a 5.7% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Northwest Bancshares's case, that would currently equate to about $0.8 per share.
Northwest Bancshares's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Northwest Bancshares's most recent dividend payout was on 14 August 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 2 August 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Northwest Bancshares's shares were split on a 225:100 basis on 17 December 2009. So if you had owned 100 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 225 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Northwest Bancshares shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 55.6% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Northwest Bancshares shares which in turn could have impacted Northwest Bancshares's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Northwest Bancshares's shares have ranged in value from as little as $11.8708 up to $15.22. 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 Northwest Bancshares's is 0.5505. This would suggest that Northwest Bancshares's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
