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.

Henry Boot share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 1093.75% of net profits
Recently Henry Boot has paid out, on average, around 1093.75% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.22% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Henry Boot shareholders could enjoy a 1.22% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Henry Boot's case, that would currently equate to about 0.04p per share.
Henry Boot'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 September 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Henry Boot's shares ever split?
Henry Boot's shares were split on a 4:1 basis on 21 May 2007. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Henry Boot shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 75% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Henry Boot shares which in turn could have impacted Henry Boot's share price.
Henry Boot share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Henry Boot's shares have ranged in value from as little as 177.6069p up to 335.4797p. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
