Is Chemung Financial Corporation under- or over-valued?

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

Chemung Financial Corporation's P/E ratio

Chemung 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 9x. In other words, Chemung Financial Corporation shares trade at around 9x 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 Chemung Financial Corporation shares can be evaluated.

Chemung Financial Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Chemung Financial Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Chemung Financial Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Chemung Financial Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 43624.637681159). Chemung Financial Corporation's SIR currently stands at 0.69. In other words for every 100,000 Chemung Financial Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 690 shares are currently held short.

However Chemung Financial Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Chemung Financial Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Chemung Financial Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Chemung Financial Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Chemung Financial Corporation shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0098% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Chemung Financial Corporation shares, roughly 10 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 Chemung Financial Corporation.
