Valuing First Business Financial Services stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of First Business Financial Services's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
First Business Financial Services's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 10x. In other words, First Business Financial Services shares trade at around 10x 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.
First Business Financial Services's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.89. 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 First Business Financial Services's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Dividend payout ratio: 21.79% of net profits
Recently First Business Financial Services has paid out, on average, around 21.79% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.26% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), First Business Financial Services shareholders could enjoy a 2.26% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In First Business Financial Services's case, that would currently equate to about $0.955 per share.
While First Business Financial Services's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that First Business Financial Services is investing more in its future growth.
First Business Financial Services's most recent dividend payout was on 20 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
First Business Financial Services's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 30 August 2015. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your First Business Financial Services shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for First Business Financial Services shares which in turn could have impacted First Business Financial Services's share price.
Over the last 12 months, First Business Financial Services's shares have ranged in value from as little as $27.4249 up to $46.6815. 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 First Business Financial Services's is 0.818. This would suggest that First Business Financial Services's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
