Is Fang under- or over-valued?
Valuing Fang stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Fang's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Fang's P/E ratio
Fang's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 173x. In other words, Fang shares trade at around 173x recent earnings.
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.
Fang's PEG ratio
Fang's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.39. 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 Fang's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Fang's EBITDA
Fang's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$29.2 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Fang's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Shorting Fang shares
There are currently 37,387 Fang shares held short by investors – that's known as Fang's "short interest". This figure is 13% down from 42,961 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Fang shares can be evaluated.
Fang's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Fang's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Fang shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Fang shares traded daily (recently around 13352.5). Fang's SIR currently stands at 2.8. In other words for every 100,000 Fang shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2800 shares are currently held short.
However Fang's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Fang shares, or, against the total number of tradable Fang shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Fang's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Fang shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Fang shares, roughly 0 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Fang.

Fang share dividends
We're not expecting Fang to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Have Fang's shares ever split?
Fang's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 19 June 2020. So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Fang shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Fang shares which in turn could have impacted Fang's share price.
Fang share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Fang's shares have ranged in value from as little as $8.1 up to $22.6. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Fang's is 1.3058. This would suggest that Fang's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
