Valuing First Financial Bancorp stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of First Financial Bancorp's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
First 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 13x. In other words, First Financial Bancorp shares trade at around 13x 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.
First Financial Bancorp's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.71. 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 First Financial 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: 40.52% of net profits
Recently First Financial Bancorp 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), First Financial Bancorp shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In First Financial Bancorp's case, that would currently equate to about $0.93 per share.
While First Financial Bancorp's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that First Financial Bancorp may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
First Financial Bancorp's most recent dividend payout was on 15 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
First Financial Bancorp's shares were split on a 105:100 basis on 6 March 2001 . 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 First Financial Bancorp shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for First Financial Bancorp shares which in turn could have impacted First Financial Bancorp's share price.
Over the last 12 months, First Financial Bancorp's shares have ranged in value from as little as $19.1123 up to $30.11. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
