For Finance stocks, a PEG ratio near 17.35 is typical. Orange County Bancorp's 35.11 is higher that level. That is roughly 102.4% above the sector mean. Whether that is a warning or an opportunity depends on growth outlook and other fundamentals shown elsewhere on Stockcircle.

Orange County Bancorp's PEG ratio of 35.11 comes from dividing a price-based measure by a related financial statistic. Changes can come from the stock price moving, the underlying fundamental shifting, or both. Track both the level and the trend — a rising multiple on falling fundamentals is a different story than a rising multiple on rising earnings.
