Valuing Sandy Spring Bancorp stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Sandy Spring Bancorp's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Sandy Spring 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 18x. In other words, Sandy Spring Bancorp shares trade at around 18x 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.
Sandy Spring Bancorp's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.1713. 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 Sandy Spring Bancorp's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

There are currently 577,905 Sandy Spring Bancorp shares held short by investors – that's known as Sandy Spring Bancorp's "short interest". This figure is 15.2% down from 681,785 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Sandy Spring Bancorp shares can be evaluated.
Sandy Spring Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Sandy Spring Bancorp shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Sandy Spring Bancorp shares traded daily (recently around 148180.76923077). Sandy Spring Bancorp's SIR currently stands at 3.9. In other words for every 100,000 Sandy Spring Bancorp shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3900 shares are currently held short.
However Sandy Spring Bancorp's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Sandy Spring Bancorp shares, or, against the total number of tradable Sandy Spring Bancorp shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Sandy Spring Bancorp's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Sandy Spring Bancorp shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0126% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Sandy Spring Bancorp shares, roughly 13 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 Sandy Spring Bancorp.

Dividend payout ratio: 49.41% of net profits
Recently Sandy Spring Bancorp has paid out, on average, around 49.41% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.41% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Sandy Spring Bancorp shareholders could enjoy a 3.41% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Sandy Spring Bancorp's case, that would currently equate to about $1.2 per share.
While Sandy Spring Bancorp's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Sandy Spring Bancorp may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Sandy Spring Bancorp's most recent dividend payout was on 24 February 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 16 February 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Sandy Spring Bancorp's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 21 December 2001. 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 Sandy Spring Bancorp shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Sandy Spring Bancorp shares which in turn could have impacted Sandy Spring Bancorp's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Sandy Spring Bancorp's shares have ranged in value from as little as $17.1887 up to $40.11. 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 Sandy Spring Bancorp's is 1.1201. This would suggest that Sandy Spring 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).
