Is Orange County Bancorp stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Orange County Bancorp's P/E ratio

Orange County 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 11x. In other words, Orange County Bancorp shares trade at around 11x 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.

However, Orange County Bancorp's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the banks-regional industry or those of similar companies.

Orange County Bancorp share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 15.63% of net profits

Recently Orange County Bancorp has paid out, on average, around 15.63% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.96% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Orange County Bancorp shareholders could enjoy a 1.96% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Orange County Bancorp's case, that would currently equate to about $0.83 per share.

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

Orange County Bancorp's most recent dividend payout was on 15 December 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 December 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").

• Citigroup (C.US): 29.14%

Have Orange County Bancorp's shares ever split?

However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Orange County Bancorp shares which in turn could have impacted Orange County Bancorp's share price.

Orange County Bancorp share price volatility
