Is BBQ under- or over-valued?

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

BBQ's P/E ratio

BBQ's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 43x. In other words, BBQ shares trade at around 43x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

BBQ's EBITDA

BBQ's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1 million.

The EBITDA is a measure of a BBQ's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Shorting BBQ shares

There are currently 11,671 BBQ shares held short by investors – that's known as BBQ's "short interest". This figure is 43.1% down from 20,503 last month.

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

BBQ's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

BBQ's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of BBQ shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of BBQ shares traded daily (recently around 29177.5). BBQ's SIR currently stands at 0.4. In other words for every 100,000 BBQ shares traded daily on the market, roughly 400 shares are currently held short.

However BBQ's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of BBQ shares, or, against the total number of tradable BBQ shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case BBQ's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 BBQ shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0028% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable BBQ shares, roughly 3 shares are currently held short).

Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against BBQ.

BBQ share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, BBQ's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2 up to $15.47. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while BBQ's is 1.8731. This would suggest that BBQ's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
