Valuing Peoples United Financial stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Peoples United Financial's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Peoples United Financial'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, Peoples United Financial 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.
Peoples United Financial's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 5.52. 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 Peoples United Financial'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 Peoples United Financial has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends.

In Peoples United Financial's case, that would currently equate to about $0.728 per share.
While Peoples United Financial's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Peoples United Financial may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Peoples United Financial's shares were split on a 21:10 basis on 15 April 2007 . So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 21 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Peoples United Financial shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 52.4% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Peoples United Financial shares which in turn could have impacted Peoples United Financial's share price.
