Valuing Webster Financial Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Webster Financial Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Webster Financial 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 16x. In other words, Webster Financial Corporation shares trade at around 16x 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.
Webster Financial Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.93. 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 Webster Financial 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.

Dividend payout ratio: 35.32% of net profits
Recently Webster Financial Corporation has paid out, on average, around 35.32% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.49% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Webster Financial Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 2.49% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Webster Financial Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.6 per share.
While Webster Financial Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Webster Financial Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Webster Financial Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 22 November 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 November 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Webster Financial Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 14 April 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 Webster Financial Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Webster Financial Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Webster Financial Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Webster Financial Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $44.9127 up to $65. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Webster Financial Corporation's is 1.4131. This would suggest that Webster Financial Corporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
