Is Guaranty Federal Bancshares under- or over-valued?

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

Guaranty Federal Bancshares's P/E ratio

Guaranty Federal Bancshares's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 14x. In other words, Guaranty Federal Bancshares shares trade at around 14x recent earnings.

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

Guaranty Federal Bancshares's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

However Guaranty Federal Bancshares's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Guaranty Federal Bancshares shares, or, against the total number of tradable Guaranty Federal Bancshares shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Guaranty Federal Bancshares's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Guaranty Federal Bancshares shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0008% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Guaranty Federal Bancshares shares, roughly 1 shares are currently held short).

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Guaranty Federal Bancshares shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 48.2% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Guaranty Federal Bancshares shares which in turn could have impacted Guaranty Federal Bancshares's share price.
