What is Polonia Bancorp GF Value Rank?

Polonia Bancorp has the GF Value Rank of 0.

The GF Value Rank is determined by the price-to-GF-Value (P/GF Value) ratio, a proprietary metric calculated based on historical multiples along with an adjustment factor based on a company's past returns and growth and future estimates of the business' performance.

GuruFocus found that for valuation, we cannot simply give stocks a better GF Value rank simply because they have a lower P/GF Value ratio. Backtesting shows that over the long term, the two worst-performing groups are the most expensive group (with the highest P/GF Value ratio) and the least expensive group (with the lowest P/GF Value ratio).

We can understand why the most expensive group underperforms. We were initially puzzled by the underperformance of the least expensive group, but we realized there is a reason why some stocks are super cheap. If they look too undervalued, it is often because the businesses behind them are poor quality. The market realized this and gave them low valuations. In a way, the market is efficient.

After multiple backtesting analyses, we granted the stocks in third-cheapest percentile the highest GF Value rank, as they have performed the best over a full market cycle. Stock performance is actually not as sensitive to valuation as it is to growth and profitability. On average, the companies in the 20%-50% valuation groups have similar performances. Therefore, we should avoid the most expensive and the least expensive stocks. We can be more tolerant of valuation.

Traded in Other Exchanges
N/A
Address
Polonia Bancorp Inc is a Maryland corporation that was incorporated in August 2011. The Company is headquartered in Huntingdon Valley and operates as a community-oriented financial institution dedicated to serving the financial services needs of consumers and businesses within its market areas. The Bank is engaged mainly in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using using such funds to originate loans. Polonia Bank also maintains an investment portfolio. Polonia Bank's primary federal regulator is the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). Its loan portfolio consists of one- to four-family residential real estate loans, multi-family and nonresidential real estate loans, home equity loans, commercial loans and consumer loans. Currently, it offers only fixed-rate mortgage products. The one- to four-family residential real estate loans are normally originated with up to 30-year terms, such loans typically remain outstanding for substantially shorter periods because borrowers often prepay their loans in full upon sale of the property pledged as security or upon refinancing the original loan. The multi-family and nonresidential real estate loans are generally secured by apartment buildings, small office buildings and owner-occupied properties. It offers loans with adjustable interest rates tied to a market index in its market area. It offers consumer loans in the form of loans secured by savings accounts or time deposits. The Company has the legal authority to invest in various types of liquid assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies and municipal governments, corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities, deposits at the FHLB of Pittsburgh and time deposits of federally insured institutions. The Company faces competition for the attraction of deposits and origination of loans. The Company's direct competition for deposits has historically come from the several financial institutions operating in its market areas and, to a lesser extent, from other financial service companies such as brokerage firms, credit unions and insurance companies. The Company is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve Board and the OCC, its main federal regulator, and by the FDIC, as insurer of its deposits.
