As for SMBK, the DDM model generated by StockNews estimates a return of negative 59.62% in comparison to its current price. Digging deeper, the aspects of Smartfinancial Inc's dividend discount model that we found most interesting were:

• Given its market cap of around 437 million US dollars, its dividend yield of 1.09 is greater than only 11.73% of its fellow stocks in the small market cap class.
• If we compare the valuation opportunity a dividend discount model provides relative to other dividend stocks in the Financial Services sector, the expected return of -59.62%, based on the stock's current share price and target price based on a dividend discount model, is greater than only 16.15% of the DDM-forecasted return of its its sector peers.
• Out of all stocks in our universe of US-listed dividend-issuing stocks, Smartfinancial Inc bears a discount rate, according to our calculations, lower than only 16.15% of them (lower discount rates are generally perceived as positive, and a sign of lower risk).
