Is Standard Motor Products 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 Standard Motor Products 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), Standard Motor Products shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Standard Motor Products's case, that would currently equate to about $1.16 per share.

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