Guild Holdings Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 5x. In other words, Guild Holdings Company shares trade at around 5x 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.

However, Guild Holdings Company's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the mortgage finance industry or those of similar companies.

Shorting Guild Holdings Company shares

There are currently 26,173 Guild Holdings Company shares held short by investors – that's known as Guild Holdings Company's "short interest". This figure is 49.7% down from 52,007 last month.

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

Guild Holdings Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Guild Holdings Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Guild Holdings Company shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Guild Holdings Company shares traded daily (recently around 67110.256410256). Guild Holdings Company's SIR currently stands at 0.39. In other words for every 100,000 Guild Holdings Company shares traded daily on the market, roughly 390 shares are currently held short.

To gain some more context, you can compare Guild Holdings Company's short interest ratio against those of similar companies.

However Guild Holdings Company's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Guild Holdings Company shares, or, against the total number of tradable Guild Holdings Company shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Guild Holdings Company's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Guild Holdings Company shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0021% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Guild Holdings Company shares, roughly 2 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 Guild Holdings Company.
