Is Pinnacle Financial Partners under- or over-valued?
Valuing Pinnacle Financial Partners stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Pinnacle Financial Partners's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Pinnacle Financial Partners's P/E ratio
Pinnacle Financial Partners's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 20x. In other words, Pinnacle Financial Partners shares trade at around 20x 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.
Pinnacle Financial Partners's PEG ratio
Pinnacle Financial Partners's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.6. 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 Pinnacle Financial Partners's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Shorting Pinnacle Financial Partners shares
There are currently 994,418 Pinnacle Financial Partners shares held short by investors – that's known as Pinnacle Financial Partners's "short interest". This figure is 11.5% down from 1.1 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Pinnacle Financial Partners shares can be evaluated.
Pinnacle Financial Partners's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Pinnacle Financial Partners's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Pinnacle Financial Partners shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Pinnacle Financial Partners shares traded daily (recently around 393050.59288538). Pinnacle Financial Partners's SIR currently stands at 2.53. In other words for every 100,000 Pinnacle Financial Partners shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2530 shares are currently held short.
However Pinnacle Financial Partners's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Pinnacle Financial Partners shares, or, against the total number of tradable Pinnacle Financial Partners shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Pinnacle Financial Partners's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Pinnacle Financial Partners shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0135% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Pinnacle Financial Partners shares, roughly 14 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 Pinnacle Financial Partners.

Pinnacle Financial Partners share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 15.31% of net profits
Recently Pinnacle Financial Partners has paid out, on average, around 15.31% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.88% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Pinnacle Financial Partners shareholders could enjoy a 0.88% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Pinnacle Financial Partners's case, that would currently equate to about $0.64 per share.
While Pinnacle Financial Partners's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Pinnacle Financial Partners is investing more in its future growth.
Pinnacle Financial Partners's most recent dividend payout was on 26 February 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 4 February 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Pinnacle Financial Partners's shares ever split?
Pinnacle Financial Partners's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 11 May 2004. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Pinnacle Financial Partners shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Pinnacle Financial Partners shares which in turn could have impacted Pinnacle Financial Partners's share price.
Pinnacle Financial Partners share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Pinnacle Financial Partners's shares have ranged in value from as little as $27.4111 up to $86. 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 Pinnacle Financial Partners's is 1.3629. This would suggest that Pinnacle Financial Partners's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
