Is Altice USA under- or over-valued?

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

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 Altice USA'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 Altice USA shares

There are currently 43.6 million Altice USA shares held short by investors – that's known as Altice USA's "short interest". This figure is 0.6% up from 43.3 million last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Altice USA shares can be evaluated.

Altice USA's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Altice USA's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Altice USA shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Altice USA shares traded daily (recently around 3.7 million). Altice USA's SIR currently stands at 11.75. In other words for every 100,000 Altice USA shares traded daily on the market, roughly 11750 shares are currently held short.

However Altice USA's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Altice USA shares, or, against the total number of tradable Altice USA shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Altice USA's short interest could be expressed as 0.09% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Altice USA shares in existence, roughly 90 shares are currently held short) or 0.2512% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Altice USA shares, roughly 251 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 Altice USA.
