Valuing OceanFirst Financial stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of OceanFirst Financial's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
OceanFirst Financial'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, OceanFirst Financial 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.
OceanFirst Financial's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.84. 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 OceanFirst Financial'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: 47.9% of net profits
Recently OceanFirst Financial 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), OceanFirst Financial shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In OceanFirst Financial's case, that would currently equate to about $0.8 per share.
While OceanFirst Financial's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that OceanFirst Financial may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
OceanFirst Financial's most recent dividend payout was on 14 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 3 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
OceanFirst Financial's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 19 May 2002 . 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 OceanFirst Financial shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for OceanFirst Financial shares which in turn could have impacted OceanFirst Financial's share price.
Over the last 12 months, OceanFirst Financial's shares have ranged in value from as little as $12.7784 up to $21.34. 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 OceanFirst Financial's is 0.997. This would suggest that OceanFirst Financial's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
