Is eGain Corporation under- or over-valued?

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

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

However eGain Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of eGain Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable eGain Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case eGain Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 eGain Corporation shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0252% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable eGain Corporation shares, roughly 25 shares are currently held short).
