Is Gray Television under- or over-valued?

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

Gray Television's P/E ratio

Gray Television's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 6x. In other words, Gray Television shares trade at around 6x 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.

Gray Television's PEG ratio

Gray Television's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.6219. 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 Gray Television's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Gray Television's EBITDA

Shorting Gray Television shares

There are currently 2.6 million Gray Television shares held short by investors – that's known as Gray Television's "short interest". This figure is 16.2% down from 3.1 million last month.

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

Gray Television's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Gray Television's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Gray Television shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Gray Television shares traded daily (recently around 466812.23021583). Gray Television's SIR currently stands at 5.56. In other words for every 100,000 Gray Television shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5560 shares are currently held short.

However Gray Television's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Gray Television shares, or, against the total number of tradable Gray Television shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Gray Television's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Gray Television shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0306% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Gray Television shares, roughly 31 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 Gray Television.

Gray Television share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 6.15% of net profits

Recently Gray Television has paid out, on average, around 6.15% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.37% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Gray Television shareholders could enjoy a 1.37% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Gray Television's case, that would currently equate to about $0.16 per share.

While Gray Television's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Gray Television is investing more in its future growth.

Gray Television's most recent dividend payout was on 29 September 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 September 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Gray Television's shares ever split?

Gray Television's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 30 September 1998. So if you had owned 2 shares 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 Gray Television shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Gray Television shares which in turn could have impacted Gray Television's share price.

Gray Television share price volatility
