Is Wintrust Financial Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Wintrust Financial Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Wintrust Financial Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Wintrust Financial Corporation's P/E ratio
Wintrust Financial 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 14x. In other words, Wintrust Financial Corporation shares trade at around 14x 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.
Wintrust Financial Corporation's PEG ratio
Wintrust Financial Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.57. 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 Wintrust Financial 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.

Wintrust Financial Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 18.85% of net profits
Recently Wintrust Financial Corporation has paid out, on average, around 0% 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), Wintrust Financial Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Wintrust Financial Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.75 per share.
While Wintrust Financial Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Wintrust Financial Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
Wintrust Financial Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 21 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Wintrust Financial Corporation's shares ever split?
Wintrust Financial Corporation's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 14 March 2002 . 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 Wintrust Financial Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Wintrust Financial Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Wintrust Financial Corporation's share price.
Wintrust Financial Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Wintrust Financial Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $81.4644 up to $137.325. 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 Wintrust Financial Corporation's is 1.15. This would suggest that Wintrust Financial Corporation's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
