Is Esquire Financial under- or over-valued?

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

Esquire Financial's P/E ratio

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

Shorting Esquire Financial shares

There are currently 98,756 Esquire Financial shares held short by investors – that's known as Esquire Financial's "short interest". This figure is 4.9% up from 94,119 last month.

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

Esquire Financial's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Esquire Financial's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Esquire Financial shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Esquire Financial shares traded daily (recently around 18054.113345521). Esquire Financial's SIR currently stands at 5.47. In other words for every 100,000 Esquire Financial shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5470 shares are currently held short.

However Esquire Financial's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Esquire Financial shares, or, against the total number of tradable Esquire Financial shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Esquire Financial's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Esquire Financial shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0147% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Esquire Financial shares, roughly 15 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 Esquire Financial.
