We determine the current worth of Central Pacific Financial using both absolute as well as relative valuation methodologies to arrive at its intrinsic value. In general, an absolute valuation paradigm, as applied to this company, attempts to find the value of Central Pacific Financial based exclusively on its fundamental and basic technical indicators. By analyzing Central Pacific's financials, quarterly and monthly indicators, and related drivers such as dividends, operating cash flow, and various types of growth rates, we attempt to find the most accurate representation of Central Pacific's intrinsic value. In some cases, mostly for established, large-cap companies, we also incorporate more traditional valuation methods such as dividend discount, discounted cash flow, or asset-based models.

However, we advise all investors to independently investigate Central Pacific Financial to ensure all accessible information is consistent with the expectations about its upside potential and future expected returns. Understanding different market volatility trends often help investors to time the market. Properly using volatility indicators enable traders to measure Central Pacific's stock risk against market volatility during both bullying and bearish trends. The higher level of volatility that comes with bear markets can directly impact Central Pacific's stock price while adding stress to investors as they watch their shares' value plummet. This usually forces investors to rebalance their portfolios by buying different stocks as prices fall.

Central Pacific Implied Volatility

Central Pacific's implied volatility exposes the market's sentiment of Central Pacific Financial stock's possible movements over time. However, it does not forecast the overall direction of its price. In a nutshell, if Central Pacific's implied volatility is high, the market thinks the stock has potential for high price swings in either direction. On the other hand, the low implied volatility suggests that Central Pacific stock will not fluctuate a lot when Central Pacific's options are near their expiration.

Although some other companies within the banks—regional industry are still a little expensive, even after the recent corrections, Central Pacific may offer a potential longer-term growth to shareholders.

The firm is undervalued and projects low probability of distress for the next 2 years. Our ongoing 90 days buy-or-sell advice on the firm is Strong Buy.
