Is Provident Financial stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Provident Financial's P/E ratio

Provident 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 15x. In other words, Provident Financial shares trade at around 15x 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.

Provident Financial share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 51.38% of net profits

Recently Provident Financial 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), Provident Financial shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Provident Financial's case, that would currently equate to about $0.56 per share.

Provident Financial'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.

Provident Financial's most recent dividend payout was on 4 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Provident Financial's shares ever split?

Provident Financial's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 2 February 2004 . 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 Provident Financial shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Provident Financial shares which in turn could have impacted Provident Financial's share price.

Provident Financial share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Provident Financial's shares have ranged in value from as little as $11.7784 up to $16.7. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
