Is Domtar Corporation under- or over-valued?

Valuing Domtar Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Domtar Corporation'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.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Domtar Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

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

Domtar Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

However Domtar Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Domtar Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Domtar Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Domtar Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.09% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Domtar Corporation shares in existence, roughly 90 shares are currently held short) or 0.1035% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Domtar Corporation shares, roughly 104 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 Domtar Corporation.
