Valuing First Bancorp stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of First Bancorp's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
First 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 12x. In other words, First Bancorp shares trade at around 12x 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.
First Bancorp's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.86. 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 First Bancorp'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: 33.9% of net profits
Recently First Bancorp has paid out, on average, around 33.9% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.1% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), First Bancorp shareholders could enjoy a 3.1% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In First Bancorp's case, that would currently equate to about $0.58 per share.
While First Bancorp's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that First Bancorp may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
First Bancorp's most recent dividend payout was on 13 June 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 May 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
First Bancorp's shares were split on a 1:15 basis on 6 January 2011. So if you had owned 15 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your First Bancorp shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for First Bancorp shares which in turn could have impacted First Bancorp's share price.
Over the last 12 months, First Bancorp's shares have ranged in value from as little as $12.3607 up to $21.185. 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 First Bancorp's is 1.121. This would suggest that First Bancorp'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).
