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

Dividend payout ratio: 29.96% of net profits
Recently Peoples Financial Services has paid out, on average, around 29.96% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.88% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Peoples Financial Services shareholders could enjoy a 2.88% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Peoples Financial Services's case, that would currently equate to about $1.48 per share.
While Peoples Financial Services's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Peoples Financial Services may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Peoples Financial Services's most recent dividend payout was on 14 December 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 November 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Peoples Financial Services'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 Financial Services shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Peoples Financial Services shares which in turn could have impacted Peoples Financial Services's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Peoples Financial Services's shares have ranged in value from as little as $34.8388 up to $55. 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 Financial Services's is 0.1505. This would suggest that Peoples Financial Services's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
