On this page we presented the FCCO Historical PE Ratio information for First Community' stock. The average FCCO historical PE based on using the annualized quarterly earnings result at each measurement period (for the "E" in the PE calculation; and the closing price on earnings date as the "P") is 13.8. Meanwhile, using the trailing twelve month (TTM) quarterly earnings result as our method of calculation the "E" value at each measurement period, the average FCCO historical PE based on this TTM earnings result method is 13.9.

Let's now compare this FCCO historical PE result, against the recent PE: when this page was posted on 4/18/2024, the most recent closing price for FCCO had been 15.95, and the most recent quarterly earnings result, annualized, was 1.36. Meanwhile, the most recent TTM earnings summed to 1.43. From these numbers, we calculate the recent FCCO PE on 4/18/2024 based on annualized quarterly EPS was 11.7. Based on FCCO's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 15.2% lower than the historical average PE across our data set for First Community. Looking at the recent FCCO PE on 4/18/2024 based on TTM EPS, we calculate the ratio at 11.2. Based on FCCO's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 19.4% lower than the average PE across our First Community data set with TTM EPS used in the calculation at each period.

Another interesting FCCO historical PE Ratio calculation we look at is to take the median earnings per share of the last four quarters for FCCO, and then annualize the resulting value... with that annualized number then being used in the PE calculation. To walk through this math for FCCO, we start with the past four EPS numbers and we first sort them from lowest to highest: 0.23, 0.34, 0.43, and 0.43. We then toss out the highest and lowest result, and then take the average of those two middle numbers — 0.34 and 0.43 — which gives us the median of 0.39. Basically the way to think about this 0.39 number is this: for the trailing four earnings reports, 0.39 marks the "middle ground" number where FCCO has reported a value higher than 0.39 half the time, and has reported a value lower than 0.39 half the time. Annualizing that median value then gets us to 1.56/share, which we use as the denominator in our next PE calculation. With 15.95 as the numerator (as of 4/18/2024), the calculation is then 15.95 / 1.56 = 10.2 as the FCCO PE ratio as of 4/18/2024, based on that annualized median value we calculated.
