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

Dividend payout ratio: 25.3% of net profits
Recently Peoples Fin has paid out, on average, around 25.3% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.3% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Peoples Fin shareholders could enjoy a 3.3% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Peoples Fin's case, that would currently equate to about $1.54 per share.
While Peoples Fin's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Peoples Fin may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Peoples Fin's most recent dividend payout was on 14 September 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 August 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Peoples Fin's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 15 May 2003. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Peoples Fin shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Peoples Fin shares which in turn could have impacted Peoples Fin's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Peoples Fin's shares have ranged in value from as little as $43.8739 up to $59.5204. 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 Peoples Fin's is 0.1542. This would suggest that Peoples Fin's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
