Is Boise Cascade Company 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 Boise Cascade Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Boise Cascade Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

However Boise Cascade Company's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Boise Cascade Company shares, or, against the total number of tradable Boise Cascade Company shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float").

In Boise Cascade Company's case, that would currently equate to about $0.4 per share.
