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.
Advance Auto Parts's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.1345. 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.

Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Advance Auto Parts.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 17.4
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Advance Auto Parts's overall score of 17.4 (as at 01/01/2019) is excellent – landing it in it in the 9th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Advance Auto Parts is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 6.6/100
Advance Auto Parts's environmental score of 6.6 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Advance Auto Parts is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 12.17/100
Advance Auto Parts's social score of 12.17 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Advance Auto Parts is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 9.13/100

Controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Advance Auto Parts scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Advance Auto Parts has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
Dividend payout ratio: 51.84% of net profits
Recently Advance Auto Parts has paid out, on average, around 51.84% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.77% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Advance Auto Parts shareholders could enjoy a 2.77% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Advance Auto Parts's case, that would currently equate to about $3.25 per share.
Advance Auto Parts'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.
Advance Auto Parts's most recent dividend payout was on 1 April 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 17 March 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Advance Auto Parts's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 26 September 2005. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Advance Auto Parts shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Advance Auto Parts shares which in turn could have impacted Advance Auto Parts's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Advance Auto Parts's shares have ranged in value from as little as $183.1978 up to $242.7824. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Advance Auto Parts's is 1.2853. This would suggest that Advance Auto Parts's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
