Is National Grid PLC ADR stock undervalued or overvalued?

Recently National Grid PLC ADR 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), National Grid PLC ADR shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In National Grid PLC ADR's case, that would currently equate to about $0.55 per share.
National Grid PLC ADR'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.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your National Grid PLC ADR shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 9.2% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for National Grid PLC ADR shares which in turn could have impacted National Grid PLC ADR's share price.
