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 10x. In other words, Harvest Capital Credit Corporation shares trade at around 10x 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.

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 11,341 Harvest Capital Credit Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Harvest Capital Credit Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 871% up from 1,168 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 51550).

In other words for every 100,000 Harvest Capital Credit Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 220 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 0.0018% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Harvest Capital Credit Corporation 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 Harvest Capital Credit Corporation.
