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.

Shorting H-BFuller Company shares

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting H-BFuller Company shares can be evaluated.

H-BFuller Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

H-BFuller Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of H-BFuller Company shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of H-BFuller Company shares traded daily (recently around 428667.3151751). H-BFuller Company's SIR currently stands at 2.57. In other words for every 100,000 H-BFuller Company shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2570 shares are currently held short.

However H-BFuller Company's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of H-BFuller Company shares, or, against the total number of tradable H-BFuller Company shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case H-BFuller Company's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 H-BFuller Company shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0292% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable H-BFuller Company shares, roughly 29 shares are currently held short).

Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against H-BFuller Company.

H-BFuller Company share dividends

Recently H-BFuller Company has paid out, on average, around 20.73% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.98% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), H-BFuller Company shareholders could enjoy a 0.98% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In H-BFuller Company's case, that would currently equate to about $0.65 per share.

While H-BFuller Company's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that H-BFuller Company is investing more in its future growth.

H-BFuller Company's most recent dividend payout was on 5 May 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 20 April 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have H-BFuller Company's shares ever split?

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your H-BFuller Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for H-BFuller Company shares which in turn could have impacted H-BFuller Company's share price.
