Is AllianceBernstein Holding L-P under- or over-valued?

Valuing AllianceBernstein Holding L-P stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of AllianceBernstein Holding L-P's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

AllianceBernstein Holding L-P's P/E ratio

AllianceBernstein Holding L-P's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 14x. In other words, AllianceBernstein Holding L-P shares trade at around 14x 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.

AllianceBernstein Holding L-P's PEG ratio

AllianceBernstein Holding L-P's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.2681. 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 AllianceBernstein Holding L-P's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

AllianceBernstein Holding L-P's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

AllianceBernstein Holding L-P's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of AllianceBernstein Holding L-P shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of AllianceBernstein Holding L-P shares traded daily (recently around 531358.75706215).

However AllianceBernstein Holding L-P's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of AllianceBernstein Holding L-P shares, or, against the total number of tradable AllianceBernstein Holding L-P shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case AllianceBernstein Holding L-P's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 AllianceBernstein Holding L-P shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0097% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable AllianceBernstein Holding L-P shares, roughly 10 shares are currently held short).

However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for AllianceBernstein Holding L-P shares which in turn could have impacted AllianceBernstein Holding L-P's share price.
