Is Franklin Electric Co stock undervalued or overvalued?

Recently Franklin Electric Co 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), Franklin Electric Co shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Franklin Electric Co's case, that would currently equate to about $0.975 per share.

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

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