Is Andrews Sykes Group under- or over-valued?

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the FTSE 250 at the end of September 2019 (19.71). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Andrews Sykes Group share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 60.41% of net profits
Recently Andrews Sykes Group has paid out, on average, around 60.41% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.97% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Andrews Sykes Group shareholders could enjoy a 3.97% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Andrews Sykes Group's case, that would currently equate to about 0.24p per share.
Andrews Sykes 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.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 8 October 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Andrews Sykes Group's shares were split on a 5:1 basis on 4 June 1998. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Andrews Sykes Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 80% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Andrews Sykes Group shares which in turn could have impacted Andrews Sykes Group's share price.
Andrews Sykes Group share price volatility
