Is Clarus Corporation under- or over-valued?

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Clarus 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.

Clarus Corporation share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 14.5% of net profits

That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.53% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Clarus Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0.53% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Clarus Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.05 per share.

While Clarus Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Clarus Corporation is investing more in its future growth.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Clarus Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 0.2% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Clarus Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Clarus Corporation's share price.
