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.
However, Anglo American's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the other industrial metals & mining industry or those of similar companies.

Dividend payout ratio: 98.32% of net profits
Anglo American has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 3.42% of its share value annually.
Anglo American has paid out, on average, around 98.32% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.42% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 3.42% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Anglo American's case, that would currently equate to about 242p per share.
Anglo American'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 17 August 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Anglo American's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
Over the last 12 months, Anglo American's shares have ranged in value from as little as 2486.4602p up to 4290.7057p. 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 (LSE average) beta is 1, while Anglo American's is 1.32. This would suggest that Anglo American's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
To put Anglo American's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
