Is CONSOL Energy under- or over-valued?
Valuing CONSOL Energy stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of CONSOL Energy's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

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.

Shorting CONSOL Energy shares
There are currently 1.9 million CONSOL Energy shares held short by investors – that's known as CONSOL Energy's "short interest". This figure is 12% down from 2.2 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting CONSOL Energy shares can be evaluated.
CONSOL Energy's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
CONSOL Energy's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of CONSOL Energy shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of CONSOL Energy shares traded daily (recently around 361107.62081784). CONSOL Energy's SIR currently stands at 5.38. In other words for every 100,000 CONSOL Energy shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5380 shares are currently held short.
However CONSOL Energy's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of CONSOL Energy shares, or, against the total number of tradable CONSOL Energy shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case CONSOL Energy's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 CONSOL Energy shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.0901% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable CONSOL Energy shares, roughly 90 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 CONSOL Energy.
