Is Clear Secure under- or over-valued?

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.

Clear Secure's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Clear Secure's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Clear Secure shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Clear Secure shares traded daily (recently around 486860).

However Clear Secure's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Clear Secure shares, or, against the total number of tradable Clear Secure shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Clear Secure's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Clear Secure shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.017% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Clear Secure shares, roughly 17 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 Clear Secure.
