Is Peoples United Financial stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Peoples United Financial's P/E ratio

Peoples United 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 14x. In other words, Peoples United Financial shares trade at around 14x 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.

Peoples United Financial's PEG ratio

Peoples United Financial's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 5.52. 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 Peoples United 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.

Peoples United Financial share dividends

50%

Dividend payout ratio: 49.77% of net profits

Recently Peoples United Financial has paid out, on average, around 49.77% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.76% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Peoples United Financial shareholders could enjoy a 3.76% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Peoples United Financial's case, that would currently equate to about $0.728 per share.

While Peoples United Financial's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Peoples United Financial may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Peoples United Financial's most recent dividend payout was on 14 February 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 January 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Peoples United Financial's shares ever split?

Peoples United Financial's shares were split on a 21:10 basis on 15 April 2007. So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 21 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Peoples United Financial shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 52.4% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Peoples United Financial shares which in turn could have impacted Peoples United Financial's share price.

Peoples United Financial share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Peoples United Financial'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".

PBCT.US volatility(beta: 0.93)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Peoples United Financial's is 0.9304. This would suggest that Peoples United Financial's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
