Valuing Sterling Bancorp stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Sterling Bancorp's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Sterling 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 121x. In other words, Sterling Bancorp shares trade at around 121x 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.

Dividend payout ratio: 105.66% of net profits
Recently Sterling Bancorp has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 100% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Sterling Bancorp shareholders could enjoy a 100% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Sterling Bancorp's case, that would currently equate to about $0 per share.
Sterling Bancorp'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.
Sterling Bancorp's most recent dividend payout was on 27 February 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 19 February 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Sterling Bancorp's shares have ranged in value from as little as $4.4 up to $5.97. 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 Sterling Bancorp's is 0.54. This would suggest that Sterling Bancorp's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
