Valuing Limestone Bancorp stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Limestone Bancorp's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Limestone Bancorp's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, Limestone Bancorp shares trade at around 9x 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: 8.06% of net profits
Recently Limestone Bancorp has paid out, on average, around 8.06% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.85% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Limestone Bancorp shareholders could enjoy a 0.85% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Limestone Bancorp's case, that would currently equate to about $0.2 per share.
While Limestone Bancorp's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Limestone Bancorp is investing more in its future growth.
Limestone Bancorp's most recent dividend payout was on 20 February 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 2 February 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Limestone Bancorp's shares were split on a 1:5 basis on 18 December 2016. So if you had owned 5 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Limestone Bancorp shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Limestone Bancorp shares which in turn could have impacted Limestone Bancorp's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Limestone Bancorp's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0 up to $0. 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 Limestone Bancorp's is 0.7253. This would suggest that Limestone Bancorp's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
