Is Hanesbrands under- or over-valued?

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

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

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Hanesbrands's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

However Hanesbrands's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Hanesbrands shares, or, against the total number of tradable Hanesbrands shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float").

Have Hanesbrands's shares ever split?

Hanesbrands's shares were split on a 4:1 basis on 4 March 2015. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Hanesbrands shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 75% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Hanesbrands shares which in turn could have impacted Hanesbrands's share price.

Hanesbrands share price volatility

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Hanesbrands's is 1.6525. This would suggest that Hanesbrands's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
