Is HealthEquity under- or over-valued?

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

HealthEquity's P/E ratio

HealthEquity's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 7118x. In other words, HealthEquity shares trade at around 7118x 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.

HealthEquity's PEG ratio

HealthEquity's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.1018. 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 HealthEquity's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

HealthEquity's EBITDA

HealthEquity's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $185.9 million.

The EBITDA is a measure of a HealthEquity's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Shorting HealthEquity shares

There are currently 3.3 million HealthEquity shares held short by investors – that's known as HealthEquity's "short interest". This figure is 16.6% down from 4.0 million last month.

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

HealthEquity's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

HealthEquity's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of HealthEquity shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of HealthEquity shares traded daily (recently around 498850.90634441). HealthEquity's SIR currently stands at 6.62. In other words for every 100,000 HealthEquity shares traded daily on the market, roughly 6620 shares are currently held short.

However HealthEquity's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of HealthEquity shares, or, against the total number of tradable HealthEquity shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case HealthEquity's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 HealthEquity shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.0403% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable HealthEquity shares, roughly 40 shares are currently held short).

A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against HealthEquity.

HealthEquity share price volatility

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while HealthEquity's is 1.3614.
