Is Timberland Bancorp under- or over-valued?

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

Timberland Bancorp's P/E ratio

Timberland 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 10x. In other words, Timberland Bancorp shares trade at around 10x 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.

Shorting Timberland Bancorp shares

There are currently 57,691 Timberland Bancorp shares held short by investors – that's known as Timberland Bancorp's "short interest". This figure is 14.9% up from 50,214 last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Timberland Bancorp shares can be evaluated.

Timberland Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Timberland Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Timberland Bancorp shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Timberland Bancorp shares traded daily (recently around 16389.488636364). Timberland Bancorp's SIR currently stands at 3.52. In other words for every 100,000 Timberland Bancorp shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3520 shares are currently held short.

However Timberland Bancorp's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Timberland Bancorp shares, or, against the total number of tradable Timberland Bancorp shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Timberland Bancorp's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Timberland Bancorp shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0073% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Timberland Bancorp shares, roughly 7 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 Timberland Bancorp.

Timberland Bancorp share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 27.98% of net profits

Recently Timberland Bancorp has paid out, on average, around 27.98% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.91% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Timberland Bancorp shareholders could enjoy a 2.91% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Timberland Bancorp's case, that would currently equate to about $0.8 per share.

While Timberland Bancorp's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Timberland Bancorp may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Timberland Bancorp's most recent dividend payout was on 27 November 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 12 November 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Timberland Bancorp's shares ever split?

Timberland Bancorp's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 6 June 2007. 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 Timberland Bancorp shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Timberland Bancorp shares which in turn could have impacted Timberland Bancorp's share price.

Timberland Bancorp share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Timberland Bancorp's shares have ranged in value from as little as $13.162 up to $27.91. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
