Is Home Bancshares IncConway AR under- or over-valued?

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

Home Bancshares IncConway AR's P/E ratio

Home Bancshares IncConway AR's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, Home Bancshares IncConway AR shares trade at around 11x 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.

Home Bancshares IncConway AR's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.72. 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 Home Bancshares IncConway AR's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Home Bancshares IncConway AR's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Home Bancshares IncConway AR's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Home Bancshares IncConway AR shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Home Bancshares IncConway AR shares traded daily (recently around 735334.96621622).

However Home Bancshares IncConway AR's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Home Bancshares IncConway AR shares, or, against the total number of tradable Home Bancshares IncConway AR shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Home Bancshares IncConway AR's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Home Bancshares IncConway AR shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0289% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Home Bancshares IncConway AR shares, roughly 29 shares are currently held short).

However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Home Bancshares IncConway AR shares which in turn could have impacted Home Bancshares IncConway AR's share price.
