Is Sound Financial Bancorp stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Sound Financial Bancorp's P/E ratio

Sound Financial 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 36x. In other words, Sound Financial Bancorp shares trade at around 36x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
