That's relatively low compared to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Dexus share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 36.96% of net profits
Recently Dexus has paid out, on average, around 36.96% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.35% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Dexus shareholders could enjoy a 5.35% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Dexus's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.51 per share.
While Dexus's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Dexus may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 December 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Dexus's shares ever split?
Dexus's shares were split on a 1:6 basis on 5 November 2014. So if you had owned 6 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Dexus shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 500% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Dexus shares which in turn could have impacted Dexus's share price.
Dexus share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Dexus's shares have ranged in value from as little as $8.7 up to $11.42. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Dexus's is 0.5444. This would suggest that Dexus's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
