Is H-and-R Block stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing H-and-R Block stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of H-and-R Block'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.

This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), H-and-R Block shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In H-and-R Block's case, that would currently equate to about $1.335 per share.

While H-and-R Block's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that H-and-R Block 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 H-and-R Block shares which in turn could have impacted H-and-R Block's share price.
