Is MDU Resources Group stock undervalued or overvalued?

That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.91% of the current stock value.

In MDU Resources Group's case, that would currently equate to about $0.87 per share.
MDU Resources Group'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.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your MDU Resources Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for MDU Resources Group shares which in turn could have impacted MDU Resources Group's share price.
MDU Resources Group share price volatility
