Is Northfield Bancorp stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Northfield Bancorp's P/E ratio

Northfield 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 18x. In other words, Northfield Bancorp shares trade at around 18x 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.

Northfield Bancorp's PEG ratio

Northfield Bancorp's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.35. 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 Northfield Bancorp'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: 62.65% of net profits

Recently Northfield Bancorp has paid out, on average, around 100% 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), Northfield Bancorp shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Northfield Bancorp's case, that would currently equate to about $0.13 per share.

Northfield Bancorp'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.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Northfield Bancorp shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 92.9% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Northfield Bancorp shares which in turn could have impacted Northfield Bancorp's share price.
