Is Cutera under- or over-valued?

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

Cutera's PEG ratio

Cutera's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 9.05. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

Shorting Cutera shares

There are currently 608,572 Cutera shares held short by investors – that's known as Cutera's "short interest". This figure is 21.4% down from 773,951 last month.

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

Cutera's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Cutera's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Cutera shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Cutera shares traded daily (recently around 214285.91549296). Cutera's SIR currently stands at 2.84. In other words for every 100,000 Cutera shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2840 shares are currently held short.

However Cutera's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Cutera shares, or, against the total number of tradable Cutera shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Cutera's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Cutera shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0473% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Cutera shares, roughly 47 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 Cutera.
