Is Advanced Emissions Solutions under- or over-valued?

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.

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

Shorting Advanced Emissions Solutions shares

There are currently 853,329 Advanced Emissions Solutions shares held short by investors – that's known as Advanced Emissions Solutions's "short interest". This figure is 4.4% down from 892,477 last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Advanced Emissions Solutions shares can be evaluated.

Advanced Emissions Solutions's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Advanced Emissions Solutions's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Advanced Emissions Solutions shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Advanced Emissions Solutions shares traded daily (recently around 83089.483933788). Advanced Emissions Solutions's SIR currently stands at 10.27. In other words for every 100,000 Advanced Emissions Solutions shares traded daily on the market, roughly 10270 shares are currently held short.

However Advanced Emissions Solutions's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Advanced Emissions Solutions shares, or, against the total number of tradable Advanced Emissions Solutions shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Advanced Emissions Solutions's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Advanced Emissions Solutions shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.0629% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Advanced Emissions Solutions shares, roughly 63 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 Advanced Emissions Solutions.

Advanced Emissions Solutions share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 96.15% of net profits

Recently Advanced Emissions Solutions has paid out, on average, around 96.15% of net profits as dividends.

In Advanced Emissions Solutions's case, that would currently equate to about $1 per share.

Advanced Emissions Solutions'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.
