Valuing U.S. Bancorp stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of U.S. Bancorp's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
U.S. 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, U.S. 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.
U.S. Bancorp's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.3479. 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 U.S. 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.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 11.4 million U.S. Bancorp shares held short by investors – that's known as U.S. Bancorp's "short interest". This figure is 10.9% down from 12.8 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting U.S. Bancorp shares can be evaluated.
U.S. Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of U.S. Bancorp shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of U.S. Bancorp shares traded daily (recently around 6.2 million). U.S. Bancorp's SIR currently stands at 1.83. In other words for every 100,000 U.S. Bancorp shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1830 shares are currently held short.
However U.S. Bancorp's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of U.S. Bancorp shares, or, against the total number of tradable U.S. Bancorp shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case U.S. Bancorp's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 U.S. Bancorp shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0077% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable U.S. Bancorp shares, roughly 8 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against U.S. Bancorp.

Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like U.S. Bancorp.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 28.04
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and U.S. Bancorp's overall score of 28.04 (as at 12/31/2018) is nothing to write home about – landing it in it in the 46th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like U.S. Bancorp is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 0.11/100
U.S. Bancorp's environmental score of 0.11 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that U.S. Bancorp is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 11.69/100
U.S. Bancorp's social score of 11.69 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that U.S. Bancorp is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 12.95/100
U.S. Bancorp's governance score puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that U.S. Bancorp is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Controversy score: 3/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. U.S. Bancorp scored a 3 out of 5 for controversy – a middle-of-the-table result reflecting that U.S. Bancorp hasn't always managed to keep its nose clean.
U.S. Bancorp was last rated for ESG on: 2019-01-01.
| Total ESG score | 28.04 |

Dividend payout ratio: 28.81% of net profits
Recently U.S. Bancorp has paid out, on average, around 28.81% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.93% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), U.S. Bancorp shareholders could enjoy a 2.93% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In U.S. Bancorp's case, that would currently equate to about $1.72 per share.
While U.S. Bancorp's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that U.S. Bancorp may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
U.S. Bancorp's most recent dividend payout was on 14 October 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 September 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
U.S. Bancorp's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 15 April 1999. So if you had owned 1 share 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 U.S. Bancorp shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for U.S. Bancorp shares which in turn could have impacted U.S. Bancorp's share price.
Over the last 12 months, U.S. Bancorp's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$35.429 up to US$63. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while U.S. Bancorp's is 1.109. This would suggest that U.S. Bancorp'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).
