Is United Bancshares under- or over-valued?

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

United Bancshares's P/E ratio

United Bancshares's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 7x. In other words, United Bancshares shares trade at around 7x 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 United Bancshares shares

There are currently 17,196 United Bancshares shares held short by investors – that's known as United Bancshares's "short interest". This figure is 11364% up from 150 last month.

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

United Bancshares's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

United Bancshares's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of United Bancshares shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of United Bancshares shares traded daily (recently around 10952.866242038). United Bancshares's SIR currently stands at 1.57. In other words for every 100,000 United Bancshares shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1570 shares are currently held short.

However United Bancshares's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of United Bancshares shares, or, against the total number of tradable United Bancshares shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case United Bancshares's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 United Bancshares shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0065% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable United Bancshares 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 United Bancshares.

United Bancshares share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 12.11% of net profits

Recently United Bancshares has paid out, on average, around 12.11% of net profits as dividends.

This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), United Bancshares shareholders could enjoy a 2.29% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your United Bancshares shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 90.1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for United Bancshares shares which in turn could have impacted United Bancshares's share price.
