Is Regions Financial under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value.
P/E ratio
Regions 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 8x. In other words, Regions Financial shares trade at around 8x 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.
PEG ratio
Regions Financial's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.7462. A PEG ratio below 1 can be interpreted as meaning the shares are not overvalued given the current rate of growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Regions 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.

Do Regions Financial shares pay dividends?
Dividend yield: 3.64% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 3.64% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 28.31% of net profits
Regions Financial has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 3.64% of its share value annually.
Regions Financial has paid out, on average, around 28.31% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.64% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 3.64% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Regions Financial's case, that would currently equate to about $0.665 per share.
While Regions Financial's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Regions Financial's most recent dividend payout was on 30 June 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 June 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Regions Financial's shares have ranged in value from as little as $17.458 up to $25.1767. 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 Regions Financial's is 1.2686. This would suggest that Regions Financial's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
