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.
Capital Southwest Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 12.5538. 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 Capital Southwest Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Recently Capital Southwest Corporation has paid out, on average, around 139.91% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 10.23% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Capital Southwest Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 10.23% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Capital Southwest Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.82 per share.
Capital Southwest Corporation'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.

Capital Southwest Corporation's shares were split on a 2724:1000 basis on 30 September 2015. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2724 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Capital Southwest Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 63.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Capital Southwest Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Capital Southwest Corporation's share price.
