Is Trustmark Corporation under- or over-valued?

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

Trustmark Corporation's P/E ratio

Trustmark Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 14x. In other words, Trustmark Corporation shares trade at around 14x 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.

Trustmark Corporation's PEG ratio

Trustmark Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.73. 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 Trustmark Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Shorting Trustmark Corporation shares

There are currently 1.3 million Trustmark Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Trustmark Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 9.1% up from 1.2 million last month.

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

Trustmark Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Trustmark Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Trustmark Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Trustmark Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 261316.76891616). Trustmark Corporation's SIR currently stands at 4.89. In other words for every 100,000 Trustmark Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4890 shares are currently held short.

However Trustmark Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Trustmark Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Trustmark Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Trustmark Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Trustmark Corporation shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.024% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Trustmark Corporation shares, roughly 24 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 Trustmark Corporation.

Trustmark Corporation share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 40% of net profits

Recently Trustmark Corporation has paid out, on average, around 40% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.01% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Trustmark Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 3.01% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Trustmark Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.92 per share.

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

Trustmark Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 15 December 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 November 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Trustmark Corporation's shares ever split?

Trustmark Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 31 March 1998. 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 Trustmark Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Trustmark Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Trustmark Corporation's share price.

Trustmark Corporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Trustmark Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $19.7012 up to $32.8809. 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 Trustmark Corporation's is 1.0294. This would suggest that Trustmark Corporation'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).
