Is Premier Financial stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Premier Financial's P/E ratio

Premier Financial's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 27x. In other words, Premier Financial shares trade at around 27x recent earnings.

That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29).

Premier Financial's PEG ratio

Premier Financial's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.96. 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 Premier Financial's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Premier Financial share dividends

We're not expecting Premier Financial to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.

Have Premier Financial's shares ever split?

Premier Financial's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 13 July 2018. 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 Premier Financial shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Premier Financial shares which in turn could have impacted Premier Financial's share price.

Premier Financial share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Premier Financial's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0 up to $0. 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 Premier Financial's is 1.4465. This would suggest that Premier Financial's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
