Is Snap-on Incorporated under- or over-valued?
Valuing Snap-on Incorporated stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Snap-on Incorporated's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Snap-on Incorporated's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 17x. In other words, Snap-on Incorporated shares trade at around 17x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Snap-on Incorporated's PEG ratio

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Snap-on Incorporated's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

There are currently 4.7 million Snap-on Incorporated shares held short by investors – that's known as Snap-on Incorporated's "short interest". This figure is 7.4% down from 5.0 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Snap-on Incorporated shares can be evaluated.
Snap-on Incorporated's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Snap-on Incorporated's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Snap-on Incorporated shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Snap-on Incorporated shares traded daily (recently around 458788.65877712). Snap-on Incorporated's SIR currently stands at 10.14. In other words for every 100,000 Snap-on Incorporated shares traded daily on the market, roughly 10140 shares are currently held short.
However Snap-on Incorporated's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Snap-on Incorporated shares, or, against the total number of tradable Snap-on Incorporated shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Snap-on Incorporated's short interest could be expressed as 0.09% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Snap-on Incorporated shares in existence, roughly 90 shares are currently held short) or 0.0984% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Snap-on Incorporated shares, roughly 98 shares are currently held short).
A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against Snap-on Incorporated.

Snap-on Incorporated share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 41.12% of net profits
Recently Snap-on Incorporated has paid out, on average, around 41.12% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.76% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Snap-on Incorporated shareholders could enjoy a 2.76% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Snap-on Incorporated's case, that would currently equate to about $4.92 per share.
While Snap-on Incorporated's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Snap-on Incorporated may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Snap-on Incorporated's most recent dividend payout was on 10 December 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 19 November 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Snap-on Incorporated's shares ever split?
Snap-on Incorporated's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 11 September 1996. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Snap-on Incorporated shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Snap-on Incorporated shares which in turn could have impacted Snap-on Incorporated's share price.
Snap-on Incorporated share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Snap-on Incorporated's shares have ranged in value from as little as $88.7004 up to $183.23. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Snap-on Incorporated's is 1.2873. This would suggest that Snap-on Incorporated's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
