Is Harvest Capital Credit Corporation under- or over-valued?
Valuing Harvest Capital Credit Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Harvest Capital Credit Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Harvest Capital Credit Corporation's P/E ratio
Harvest Capital Credit Corporation'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, Harvest Capital Credit Corporation 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.
Harvest Capital Credit Corporation's PEG ratio
Harvest Capital Credit Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.9. 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 Harvest Capital Credit Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Shorting Harvest Capital Credit Corporation shares
There are currently 10,321 Harvest Capital Credit Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Harvest Capital Credit Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 38% down from 16,660 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Harvest Capital Credit Corporation shares can be evaluated.
Harvest Capital Credit Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Harvest Capital Credit Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Harvest Capital Credit Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Harvest Capital Credit Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 51605). Harvest Capital Credit Corporation's SIR currently stands at 0.2. In other words for every 100,000 Harvest Capital Credit Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 200 shares are currently held short.
However Harvest Capital Credit Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Harvest Capital Credit Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Harvest Capital Credit Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Harvest Capital Credit Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Harvest Capital Credit Corporation shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0026% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Harvest Capital Credit Corporation shares, roughly 3 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 Harvest Capital Credit Corporation.

Harvest Capital Credit Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 117.65% of net profits
Recently Harvest Capital Credit Corporation has paid out, on average, around 117.65% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.92% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Harvest Capital Credit Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 6.92% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Harvest Capital Credit Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.56 per share.
Harvest Capital Credit Corporation's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Harvest Capital Credit Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 29 December 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 December 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Harvest Capital Credit Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Harvest Capital Credit Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.4605 up to $8.16. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Harvest Capital Credit Corporation's is 1.2599. This would suggest that Harvest Capital Credit Corporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
