Is Tate-and-Lyle under- or over-valued?
Valuing Tate-and-Lyle stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Tate-and-Lyle's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Tate-and-Lyle's P/E ratio
Tate-and-Lyle's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 13x. In other words, Tate-and-Lyle shares trade at around 13x recent earnings.
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.

Tate-and-Lyle's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 34.73. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Tate-and-Lyle's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Recently Tate-and-Lyle has paid out, on average, around 5692.31% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.37% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Tate-and-Lyle shareholders could enjoy a 4.37% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Tate-and-Lyle's case, that would currently equate to about 0.3p per share.
Tate-and-Lyle'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 19 November 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
