ASRV Price Forecast Based on Dividend Discount Model

For dividend yielding stocks, the Dividend Discount Model (DDM) is a common valuation tool; it attempts to extrapolate a fair share price based primarily on the dividend the stock provides relative to a number of other quantiative aspects of its business. Regarding Ameriserv Financial Inc, the DDM model, as implemented by StockNews, implies a negative return of 4.49% relative to its current price. Digging deeper, the aspects of Ameriserv Financial Inc's dividend discount model that we found most interesting were:

• A stock's beta generally indicates its volatility relative to the broader equity market; as for ASRV, approximately 92.97% of US-listed dividend issuers had a higher beta, and thus may have greater price volatility.
• Based on dividend growth rate, Ameriserv Financial Inc has been increasing its dividends at a faster rate than 65.36% of US-listed dividend-issuing stocks we observed.
• In comparison to its fellow dividend issuing stocks in the Financial Services sector, ASRV's equity discount rate is less than 79.33% of those stocks.
