Valuing First Guaranty Bancshares stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of First Guaranty Bancshares's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
First Guaranty Bancshares's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 13x. In other words, First Guaranty Bancshares shares trade at around 13x 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.

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 Guaranty Bancshares shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In First Guaranty Bancshares's case, that would currently equate to about $0.41 per share.
While First Guaranty Bancshares's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that First Guaranty Bancshares may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

First Guaranty Bancshares's shares were split on a 11:10 basis on 13 December 2021 . So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 11 shares.

However, indirectly, the new 9.1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for First Guaranty Bancshares shares which in turn could have impacted First Guaranty Bancshares's share price.
