Is Eagle Bancorp Montana under- or over-valued?

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

Eagle Bancorp Montana's P/E ratio

Eagle Bancorp Montana's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 7x. In other words, Eagle Bancorp Montana shares trade at around 7x 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.

Eagle Bancorp Montana's PEG ratio

Eagle Bancorp Montana's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.61. 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.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Eagle Bancorp Montana'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 Eagle Bancorp Montana shares can be evaluated.

Eagle Bancorp Montana's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

However Eagle Bancorp Montana's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Eagle Bancorp Montana shares, or, against the total number of tradable Eagle Bancorp Montana shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Eagle Bancorp Montana's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Eagle Bancorp Montana shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0288% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Eagle Bancorp Montana shares, roughly 29 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 Eagle Bancorp Montana.
