Is C-and-F Financial Corporation under- or over-valued?

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

C-and-F Financial Corporation's P/E ratio

C-and-F Financial Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 6x. In other words, C-and-F Financial Corporation shares trade at around 6x 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.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting C-and-F Financial Corporation shares can be evaluated.

C-and-F Financial Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

C-and-F Financial Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of C-and-F Financial Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of C-and-F Financial Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 11452.873563218). C-and-F Financial Corporation's SIR currently stands at 5.22. In other words for every 100,000 C-and-F Financial Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5220 shares are currently held short.

However C-and-F Financial Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of C-and-F Financial Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable C-and-F Financial Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case C-and-F Financial Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 C-and-F Financial Corporation shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0173% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable C-and-F Financial Corporation shares, roughly 17 shares are currently held short).

A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against C-and-F Financial Corporation.

However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for C-and-F Financial Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted C-and-F Financial Corporation's share price.
