Is Boston Private Financial stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Boston Private Financial stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Boston Private Financial's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Boston Private Financial's P/E ratio

Boston Private 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 22x. In other words, Boston Private Financial shares trade at around 22x 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.

Boston Private Financial's PEG ratio

Boston Private Financial's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.66. 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 Boston Private 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.

Boston Private Financial share dividends

32%

Dividend payout ratio: 31.6% of net profits

Recently Boston Private Financial 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), Boston Private Financial shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Boston Private Financial's case, that would currently equate to about $0.3 per share.

While Boston Private Financial's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Boston Private Financial may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Boston Private Financial's most recent dividend payout was on 20 May 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 5 May 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

Boston Private Financial share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Boston Private Financial's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0 up to $0. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

BPFH.US volatility(beta: 1.06)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Boston Private Financial's is 1.0565. This would suggest that Boston Private Financial'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).
