Is Bakkavor Group under- or over-valued?

That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the FTSE 250 at the end of September 2019 (19.71).
However, Bakkavor Group's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the packaged foods industry or those of similar companies.

Bakkavor Group share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 10000% of net profits
Recently Bakkavor Group has paid out, on average, around 10000% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 8% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Bakkavor Group shareholders could enjoy a 8% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Bakkavor Group's case, that would currently equate to about 0.08p per share.
Bakkavor 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 30 April 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
