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 shares or simply that they're under-valued.
American Eagle Outfitters's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 38.27. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your American Eagle Outfitters shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for American Eagle Outfitters shares which in turn could have impacted American Eagle Outfitters's share price.
