Is DrReddys Laboratories under- or over-valued?

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.

Shorting DrReddys Laboratories shares

There are currently 975,394 DrReddys Laboratories shares held short by investors – that's known as DrReddys Laboratories's "short interest". This figure is 14.9% down from 1.1 million last month.

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

DrReddys Laboratories's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

DrReddys Laboratories's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of DrReddys Laboratories shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of DrReddys Laboratories shares traded daily (recently around 112632.10161663). DrReddys Laboratories's SIR currently stands at 8.66. In other words for every 100,000 DrReddys Laboratories shares traded daily on the market, roughly 8660 shares are currently held short.

However DrReddys Laboratories's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of DrReddys Laboratories shares, or, against the total number of tradable DrReddys Laboratories shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case DrReddys Laboratories's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 DrReddys Laboratories shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0083% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable DrReddys Laboratories shares, roughly 8 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 DrReddys Laboratories.

DrReddys Laboratories share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 21.65% of net profits

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your DrReddys Laboratories shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for DrReddys Laboratories shares which in turn could have impacted DrReddys Laboratories's share price.
