Valuing Sturm Ruger-and-Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Sturm Ruger-and-Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

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.

Dividend payout ratio: 40.06% of net profits
Recently Sturm Ruger-and-Company has paid out, on average, around 40.06% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.55% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Sturm Ruger-and-Company shareholders could enjoy a 5.55% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Sturm Ruger-and-Company's case, that would currently equate to about $2.8 per share.
While Sturm Ruger-and-Company's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Sturm Ruger-and-Company may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Sturm Ruger-and-Company's most recent dividend payout was on 30 August 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 15 August 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Sturm Ruger-and-Company's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 16 September 1996. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Sturm Ruger-and-Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Sturm Ruger-and-Company shares which in turn could have impacted Sturm Ruger-and-Company's share price.
