Is Smart Parking under- or over-valued?

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.

Have Smart Parking 's shares ever split?
Smart Parking 's shares were split on a 3:4 basis on 26 January 2011. So if you had owned 4 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Smart Parking shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Smart Parking shares which in turn could have impacted Smart Parking 's share price.
Smart Parking share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Smart Parking 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.14 up to $0.265. 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 Smart Parking 's is 1.4928. This would suggest that Smart Parking 's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
