Is Arch Capital stock undervalued or overvalued?

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 stock or simply that they're under-valued.

Arch Capital's PEG ratio

Arch Capital's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.24. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Arch Capital's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Arch Capital stock dividends

Recently Arch Capital has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Arch Capital shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Arch Capital's case, that would currently equate to about $0 per share.

Arch Capital's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

Arch Capital's most recent dividend payout was on 3 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 17 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Arch Capital stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Arch Capital stocks, which in turn could have impacted Arch Capital's stock price.
