Is Artesian Resources Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Artesian Resources Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Artesian Resources Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

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.

Artesian Resources Corporation's PEG ratio

Artesian Resources Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 7.29. 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.

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

Artesian Resources Corporation share dividends

61%

Dividend payout ratio: 60.62% of net profits

Recently Artesian Resources Corporation 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), Artesian Resources Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Artesian Resources Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.17 per share.

Artesian Resources Corporation'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.

Artesian Resources Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 24 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

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