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

Dividend payout ratio: 26.49% of net profits
Recently Investar Holding has paid out, on average, around 26.49% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.15% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Investar Holding shareholders could enjoy a 2.15% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Investar Holding's case, that would currently equate to about $0.4 per share.
While Investar Holding's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Investar Holding may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Investar Holding's most recent dividend payout was on 30 July 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 June 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Investar Holding's shares have ranged in value from as little as $8.8968 up to $18.99. 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 Investar Holding's is 0.778. This would suggest that Investar Holding's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
