Valuing First Community Bancshares stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of First Community Bancshares's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
First Community 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 16x. In other words, First Community Bancshares 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.
First Community Bancshares's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.7. 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 Community Bancshares's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Recently First Community Bancshares has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), First Community Bancshares shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In First Community Bancshares's case, that would currently equate to about $0 per share.
While First Community Bancshares's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that First Community Bancshares may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
First Community Bancshares's most recent dividend payout was on 27 February 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
First Community Bancshares's shares were split on a 11:10 basis on 29 July 2003 . So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 11 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your First Community Bancshares shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 9.1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for First Community Bancshares shares which in turn could have impacted First Community Bancshares's share price.
Over the last 12 months, First Community Bancshares's shares have ranged in value from as little as $30.3105 up to $48.6933. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
