Is Crown Crafts 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.

Shorting Crown Crafts shares

There are currently 9,496 Crown Crafts shares held short by investors – that's known as Crown Crafts's "short interest". This figure is 32% down from 13,965 last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Crown Crafts shares can be evaluated.

Crown Crafts's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Crown Crafts's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Crown Crafts shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Crown Crafts shares traded daily (recently around 29675). Crown Crafts's SIR currently stands at 0.32. In other words for every 100,000 Crown Crafts shares traded daily on the market, roughly 320 shares are currently held short.

However Crown Crafts's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Crown Crafts shares, or, against the total number of tradable Crown Crafts shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Crown Crafts's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Crown Crafts shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0011% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Crown Crafts shares, roughly 1 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 Crown Crafts.

Recently Crown Crafts has paid out, on average, around 37.78% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.17% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Crown Crafts shareholders could enjoy a 4.17% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Crown Crafts's case, that would currently equate to about $0.32 per share.

While Crown Crafts's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Crown Crafts may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
