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.

Recently Lowes Companies has paid out, on average, around 0% 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), Lowes Companies shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Lowes Companies's case, that would currently equate to about $0 per share.

While Lowes Companies's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Lowes Companies may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Have Lowes Companies's stocks ever split?

Lowes Companies's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 2 July 2006 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Lowes Companies stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Lowes Companies stocks, which in turn could have impacted Lowes Companies's stock price.
