Is D-RHorton under- or over-valued?

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

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.

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

However D-RHorton's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of D-RHorton shares, or, against the total number of tradable D-RHorton shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float").
