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

Dividend payout ratio: 148.12% of net profits
Recently PZ Cussons has paid out, on average, around 148.12% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.51% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), PZ Cussons shareholders could enjoy a 2.51% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In PZ Cussons's case, that would currently equate to about 0.06p per share.
PZ Cussons'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").
PZ Cussons's shares were split on a 10:1 basis on 26 September 2006. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your PZ Cussons shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 90% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for PZ Cussons shares which in turn could have impacted PZ Cussons's share price.
Over the last 12 months, PZ Cussons's shares have ranged in value from as little as 147.0027p up to 265.237p. 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 PZ Cussons's is 0.3248. This would suggest that PZ Cussons's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
