Valuing Lakeland Financial Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Lakeland Financial Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Lakeland Financial 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 19x. In other words, Lakeland Financial Corporation shares trade at around 19x 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.
Lakeland Financial Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.04. 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 Lakeland Financial Corporation'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: 49.87% of net profits
Recently Lakeland Financial 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), Lakeland Financial Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Lakeland Financial Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.92 per share.
While Lakeland Financial Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Lakeland Financial Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Lakeland Financial Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 4 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 24 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Lakeland Financial Corporation's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 7 August 2016 . So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Lakeland Financial Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Lakeland Financial Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Lakeland Financial Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Lakeland Financial Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $52.4032 up to $78.31. 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 Lakeland Financial Corporation's is 0.647. This would suggest that Lakeland Financial Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
