Is Pan African Resources 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.

Pan African Resources share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 6.69% of net profits
Recently Pan African Resources has paid out, on average, around 6.69% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.91% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Pan African Resources shareholders could enjoy a 2.91% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Pan African Resources's case, that would currently equate to about 0.01p per share.
While Pan African Resources's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Pan African Resources is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 3 December 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Pan African Resources's shares ever split?

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Pan African Resources shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4.9% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Pan African Resources shares which in turn could have impacted Pan African Resources's share price.
