Is First Community Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

First Community Corporation's P/E ratio

First Community Corporation'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, First Community Corporation 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.

First Community Corporation share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 30.21% of net profits

Recently First Community Corporation 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), First Community Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In First Community Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.58 per share.

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

First Community Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 11 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have First Community Corporation's shares ever split?

First Community Corporation's shares were split on a 5:4 basis on 28 February 2002 . So if you had owned 4 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your First Community Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 20% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for First Community Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted First Community Corporation's share price.
