Is ARC Document Solutions stock undervalued or overvalued?

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

ARC Document Solutions share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 106.1% of net profits

Recently ARC Document Solutions 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), ARC Document Solutions shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In ARC Document Solutions's case, that would currently equate to about $0.2 per share.

ARC Document Solutions'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.

ARC Document Solutions's most recent dividend payout was on 28 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have ARC Document Solutions's shares ever split?

ARC Document Solutions's shares were split on a 10:1 basis on 28 July 2014 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your ARC Document Solutions shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 90% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for ARC Document Solutions shares which in turn could have impacted ARC Document Solutions's share price.

ARC Document Solutions share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, ARC Document Solutions's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.4368 up to $3.4. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while ARC Document Solutions's is 1.117. This would suggest that ARC Document Solutions's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
