Is Customers Bancorp under- or over-valued?

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

Customers Bancorp's P/E ratio

Customers Bancorp'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, Customers Bancorp 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.

Shorting Customers Bancorp shares

There are currently 382,993 Customers Bancorp shares held short by investors – that's known as Customers Bancorp's "short interest". This figure is 19.6% down from 476,243 last month.

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

Customers Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Customers Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Customers Bancorp shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Customers Bancorp shares traded daily (recently around 148446.89922481). Customers Bancorp's SIR currently stands at 2.58. In other words for every 100,000 Customers Bancorp shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2580 shares are currently held short.

However Customers Bancorp's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Customers Bancorp shares, or, against the total number of tradable Customers Bancorp shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Customers Bancorp's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Customers Bancorp shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0155% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Customers Bancorp shares, roughly 16 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 Customers Bancorp.
