Valuing Washington Trust Bancorp stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Washington Trust Bancorp's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Washington Trust 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 12x. In other words, Washington Trust Bancorp shares trade at around 12x 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.
Washington Trust Bancorp's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.01. 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 Washington Trust Bancorp's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Dividend payout ratio: 83.58% of net profits
Recently Washington Trust Bancorp has paid out, on average, around 83.58% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.82% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Washington Trust Bancorp shareholders could enjoy a 6.82% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Washington Trust Bancorp's case, that would currently equate to about $2.24 per share.
Washington Trust 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.
Washington Trust Bancorp's most recent dividend payout was on 11 July 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 June 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Washington Trust Bancorp's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 3 August 1998. 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 Washington Trust Bancorp shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Washington Trust Bancorp shares which in turn could have impacted Washington Trust Bancorp's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Washington Trust Bancorp's shares have ranged in value from as little as $20.4642 up to $33.17. 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 Washington Trust Bancorp's is 0.811. This would suggest that Washington Trust Bancorp's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
