Is Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation under- or over-valued?

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

Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation's P/E ratio

Peapack-Gladstone 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, Peapack-Gladstone 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.

Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation's PEG ratio

Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.6761. 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 Peapack-Gladstone 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.

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

Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 52234.441087613). Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation's SIR currently stands at 3.31. In other words for every 100,000 Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3310 shares are currently held short.

However Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0115% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation shares, roughly 12 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 Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation.

In Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.2 per share.

While Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation is investing more in its future growth.

Have Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation's shares ever split?

Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation's shares were split on a 105:100 basis on 6 July 2009. 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 Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation's share price.
