Is Columbia Banking System stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Columbia Banking System stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Columbia Banking System's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Columbia Banking System's P/E ratio
Columbia Banking System's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, Columbia Banking System shares trade at around 11x 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.
Columbia Banking System's PEG ratio
Columbia Banking System's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.26. 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 Columbia Banking System's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Columbia Banking System share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 56.47% of net profits
Recently Columbia Banking System has paid out, on average, around 56.47% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.63% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Columbia Banking System shareholders could enjoy a 5.63% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Columbia Banking System's case, that would currently equate to about $1.44 per share.
Columbia Banking System'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.
Columbia Banking System's most recent dividend payout was on 8 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 22 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Columbia Banking System's shares ever split?
Columbia Banking System's shares were split on a 105:100 basis on 9 May 2004. So if you had owned 100 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 105 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Columbia Banking System shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Columbia Banking System shares which in turn could have impacted Columbia Banking System's share price.
Columbia Banking System share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Columbia Banking System's shares have ranged in value from as little as $16.5076 up to $26.6683. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Columbia Banking System's is 0.861. This would suggest that Columbia Banking System's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
