<h3>What is a Value Stock?</h3>
<p>A value stock traditionally has a lower price when compared to stock prices of companies in the same industry. This indicates that the company may be undervalued, as investors are not expressing as much interest in such companies. The most commonly used way to check for value is with the price-to-earnings multiple, or P/E. A low P/E multiple is a good indication that the stock is undervalued. </p>
<h2>The following stocks are considered to be notable value stocks in the financial services sector:</h2>

Unleashing Growth Potential: Riverview Bancorp Surpasses Expectations with Strong Performance and Increasing Profits

<p>Monday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next  dividend payout from <strong>United Security</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBFO#NASDAQ">UBFO</a>). </p>
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
<p>The company announced on Tuesday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 12 cents per share. On Tuesday, United Security will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 12 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.</p>
<p>In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Tuesday. Shareholders who own UBFO as of the end of Monday's session are eligible to receive the 12 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. </p>
<p>According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on January 19, 2024. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way. </p>

Achieving Growth and Investor Rewards: Riverview Bancorp Flourishes with Strong Performance and Rising Profits

<p>Thursday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next  dividend payout from <strong>United Security</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBFO#NASDAQ">UBFO</a>). </p>
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
<p>The company announced on Wednesday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 12 cents per share. On Friday, United Security will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 12 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.</p>
<p>In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Friday. Shareholders who own UBFO as of the end of Thursday's session are eligible to receive the 12 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. </p>
<p>According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on October 25, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way. </p>

United Security's Ex-Dividend Date Is Friday, Here's What You Need To Know

<p><strong>JAGROOP GILL</strong>, Director at <strong>United Security</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBFO#NASDAQ">UBFO</a>), reported a large insider buy on September 21, according to a new SEC filing. </p>
<p><strong>What Happened:</strong> A Form 4 filing from the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001137547/000113754723000128//Archives/edgar/data/1137547/000113754723000128/0001137547-23-000128-index.htm">U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission</a> on Thursday showed that GILL purchased 34,503 shares of United Security.

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Important</h3>
<p>Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however an insider transaction can be an important factor in the investing decision. </p>
<p>In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any shareholder who owns at least 10% of a company. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.</p>
<p>When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.</p>
<p>Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down.  </p>
<h3>Important Transaction Codes</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">Investors</a> prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A  <strong>P</strong> in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while  <strong>S</strong> indicates a sale. Transaction code <strong>C</strong> indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code <strong>A</strong> indicates the insider may have been forced to sell shares in order to receive compensation that had been promised upon being hired by the company.</p>

Innovation and Adaptation: United Security Ensures Consistency amidst Decreased Performance

<p>Thursday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next  dividend payout from <strong>United Security</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBFO#NASDAQ">UBFO</a>). </p>
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
<p>The company announced on Wednesday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 12 cents per share. On Friday, United Security will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 12 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.</p>
<p>In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Friday. Shareholders who own UBFO as of the end of Thursday's session are eligible to receive the 12 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. </p>
<p>According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on July 24, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way. </p>
