Is Ichor under- or over-valued?

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

Ichor's P/E ratio

Ichor's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 25x. In other words, Ichor shares trade at around 25x 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.

Ichor's PEG ratio

Ichor's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.29. 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 Ichor's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Ichor's EBITDA

Ichor's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$58.4 million.

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

Shorting Ichor shares

There are currently 1.0 million Ichor shares held short by investors – that's known as Ichor's "short interest". This figure is 6.2% down from 1.1 million last month.

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

Ichor's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Ichor's SIR currently stands at 2.16. In other words for every 100,000 Ichor shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2160 shares are currently held short.

However Ichor's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Ichor shares, or, against the total number of tradable Ichor shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Ichor's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Ichor shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.0439% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Ichor shares, roughly 44 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 Ichor.
