Is National Security Group stock undervalued or overvalued?

National Security Group share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 24.49% of net profits
Recently National Security Group has paid out, on average, around 24.49% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.47% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), National Security Group shareholders could enjoy a 1.47% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In National Security Group's case, that would currently equate to about $0.24 per share.
While National Security Group's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that National Security Group is investing more in its future growth.
National Security Group's most recent dividend payout was on 30 May 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 5 May 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
