Valuing South State stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of South State's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
South State's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 13x. In other words, South State shares trade at around 13x 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.
South State's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.61. 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 South State's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Dividend payout ratio: 30.35% of net profits
Recently South State has paid out, on average, around 30.35% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.54% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), South State shareholders could enjoy a 2.54% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In South State's case, that would currently equate to about $1.97 per share.
While South State's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that South State may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
South State's most recent dividend payout was on 18 August 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 10 August 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
South State's shares were split on a 105:100 basis on 6 March 2007. So if you had owned 100 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 105 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your South State shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for South State shares which in turn could have impacted South State's share price.
Over the last 12 months, South State's shares have ranged in value from as little as $71.5358 up to $91.6566. 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 South State's is 0.819. This would suggest that South State's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
