Is SouthState Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

SouthState Corporation's P/E ratio

SouthState Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 16x. In other words, SouthState Corporation shares trade at around 16x 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.

SouthState Corporation's PEG ratio

SouthState Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.61. 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 SouthState Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

SouthState Corporation share dividends

32%

Dividend payout ratio: 31.53% of net profits

Recently SouthState Corporation has paid out, on average, around 31.53% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.22% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), SouthState Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 2.22% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In SouthState Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $2.08 per share.

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

SouthState Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 15 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 8 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have SouthState Corporation's shares ever split?

SouthState Corporation's shares were split on a 105:100 basis on 6 March 2007. So if you had owned 100 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 105 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your SouthState Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for SouthState Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted SouthState Corporation's share price.

SouthState Corporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, SouthState Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $61.7066 up to $100.7066. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

SSB.US volatility(beta: 0.66)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 SouthState Corporation's is 0.662. This would suggest that SouthState Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
