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.
Alphabet Inc Class A's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.0314. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Alphabet Inc Class A's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Alphabet Inc Class A shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 95% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Alphabet Inc Class A shares which in turn could have impacted Alphabet Inc Class A's share price.
