Is Old Point Financial Corporation under- or over-valued?

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

Old Point Financial Corporation's P/E ratio

Old Point 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 15x. In other words, Old Point Financial Corporation shares trade at around 15x 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.

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

Old Point Financial Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

In other words for every 100,000 Old Point Financial Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 730 shares are currently held short.

However Old Point Financial Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Old Point Financial Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Old Point Financial Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Old Point Financial Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Old Point Financial Corporation shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0005% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Old Point Financial Corporation shares, roughly 1 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 Old Point Financial Corporation.

Recently Old Point Financial Corporation has paid out, on average, around 42.16% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.47% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Old Point Financial Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 2.47% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Old Point Financial Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.48 per share.

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

Have Old Point Financial Corporation's shares ever split?

Old Point Financial Corporation's shares were split on a 5:4 basis on 2 October 2007. So if you had owned 4 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Old Point Financial Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 20% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Old Point Financial Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Old Point Financial Corporation's share price.
