Is Northern Technologies stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Northern Technologies stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Northern Technologies'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.

Northern Technologies share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 47.46% of net profits

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

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

Northern Technologies's most recent dividend payout was on 12 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Northern Technologies's shares ever split?

Northern Technologies's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 30 June 2019 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Northern Technologies shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Northern Technologies shares which in turn could have impacted Northern Technologies's share price.

Northern Technologies share price volatility
