Is First Financial Bankshares stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

First Financial Bankshares's P/E ratio

First Financial Bankshares's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 26x. In other words, First Financial Bankshares shares trade at around 26x recent earnings.

That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29).

First Financial Bankshares's PEG ratio

First Financial Bankshares's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.69. 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 Financial Bankshares's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

First Financial Bankshares share dividends

51%

Dividend payout ratio: 51.06% of net profits

Recently First Financial Bankshares has paid out, on average, around 51.06% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.97% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), First Financial Bankshares shareholders could enjoy a 1.97% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In First Financial Bankshares's case, that would currently equate to about $0.72 per share.

First Financial Bankshares'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.

First Financial Bankshares's most recent dividend payout was on 30 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have First Financial Bankshares's shares ever split?

First Financial Bankshares's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 3 June 2019. 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 Financial Bankshares shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for First Financial Bankshares shares which in turn could have impacted First Financial Bankshares's share price.

First Financial Bankshares share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, First Financial Bankshares's shares have ranged in value from as little as $22.4277 up to $39.525. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

FFIN.US volatility(beta: 0.79)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 First Financial Bankshares's is 0.788. This would suggest that First Financial Bankshares's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
