Is FRP under- or over-valued?

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

FRP's P/E ratio

FRP's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 32x. In other words, FRP shares trade at around 32x 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.

FRP's EBITDA

FRP's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$6.2 million.

The EBITDA is a measure of a FRP's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Shorting FRP shares

There are currently 89,438 FRP shares held short by investors – that's known as FRP's "short interest". This figure is 45.7% up from 61,396 last month.

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

FRP's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

FRP's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of FRP shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of FRP shares traded daily (recently around 39227.192982456). FRP's SIR currently stands at 2.28. In other words for every 100,000 FRP shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2280 shares are currently held short.

However FRP's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of FRP shares, or, against the total number of tradable FRP shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case FRP's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 FRP shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0187% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable FRP shares, roughly 19 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 FRP.

Have FRP's shares ever split?

FRP's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 18 January 2011. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your FRP shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for FRP shares which in turn could have impacted FRP's share price.

FRP share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, FRP's shares have ranged in value from as little as $30 up to $52.59. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while FRP's is 0.6871. This would suggest that FRP's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
