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

Dividend payout ratio: 15.63% of net profits
Recently Provident Bancorp has paid out, on average, around 15.63% 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), Provident Bancorp shareholders could enjoy a 0.88% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Provident Bancorp's case, that would currently equate to about $0.14 per share.
While Provident Bancorp's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Provident Bancorp is investing more in its future growth.
Provident Bancorp's most recent dividend payout was on 28 November 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 November 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Provident Bancorp's shares were split on a 2021:1000 basis on 16 October 2019. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2021 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Provident Bancorp shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50.5% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Provident Bancorp shares which in turn could have impacted Provident Bancorp's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Provident Bancorp's shares have ranged in value from as little as $10.72 up to $20.14. 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 Provident Bancorp's is 1.1085. This would suggest that Provident Bancorp's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
