Is Hailiang Education Group under- or over-valued?
Valuing Hailiang Education Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Hailiang Education Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Hailiang Education Group's P/E ratio
Hailiang Education Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 50x. In other words, Hailiang Education Group shares trade at around 50x 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.

Shorting Hailiang Education Group shares
There are currently 11,471 Hailiang Education Group shares held short by investors – that's known as Hailiang Education Group's "short interest". This figure is 26.6% up from 9,060 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Hailiang Education Group shares can be evaluated.
Hailiang Education Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Hailiang Education Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Hailiang Education Group shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Hailiang Education Group shares traded daily (recently around 4395.0191570881). Hailiang Education Group's SIR currently stands at 2.61. In other words for every 100,000 Hailiang Education Group shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2610 shares are currently held short.
However Hailiang Education Group's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Hailiang Education Group shares, or, against the total number of tradable Hailiang Education Group shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Hailiang Education Group's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Hailiang Education Group shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Hailiang Education Group 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 Hailiang Education Group.
