Is Brookline Bancorp stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Brookline Bancorp's P/E ratio

Brookline 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 14x. In other words, Brookline Bancorp 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.

Brookline Bancorp's PEG ratio

Brookline Bancorp's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.38. 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 Brookline 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.

This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Brookline Bancorp shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Brookline Bancorp's case, that would currently equate to about $0.54 per share.

Brookline Bancorp's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

However, indirectly, the new 54.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Brookline Bancorp shares which in turn could have impacted Brookline Bancorp's share price.
