Is Escalade Incorporated 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 shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Recently Escalade Incorporated 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), Escalade Incorporated shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Escalade Incorporated's case, that would currently equate to about $0.6 per share.

Escalade Incorporated'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.

However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Escalade Incorporated shares which in turn could have impacted Escalade Incorporated's share price.
