Is Ideanomics under- or over-valued?

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

Ideanomics's P/E ratio

Ideanomics's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 29x. In other words, Ideanomics shares trade at around 29x 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.

Ideanomics's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$14.8 million.

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

Shorting Ideanomics shares

There are currently 28.2 million Ideanomics shares held short by investors – that's known as Ideanomics's "short interest". This figure is 21.1% down from 35.8 million last month.

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

Ideanomics's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Ideanomics's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Ideanomics shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Ideanomics shares traded daily (recently around 56.5 million). Ideanomics's SIR currently stands at 0.5. In other words for every 100,000 Ideanomics shares traded daily on the market, roughly 500 shares are currently held short.

However Ideanomics's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Ideanomics shares, or, against the total number of tradable Ideanomics shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Ideanomics's short interest could be expressed as 0.08% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Ideanomics shares in existence, roughly 80 shares are currently held short) or 0.0867% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Ideanomics shares, roughly 87 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 Ideanomics.

Ideanomics share dividends

We're not expecting Ideanomics to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.

Have Ideanomics's shares ever split?

Ideanomics's shares were split on a 1:75 basis on 13 February 2012. So if you had owned 75 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Ideanomics shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 7400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Ideanomics shares which in turn could have impacted Ideanomics's share price.

Ideanomics share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Ideanomics's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.276 up to $5.53. 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 Ideanomics's is -0.3127. This would suggest that Ideanomics's shares have been inversely-correlated to the average (for this exchange) – so when the broader market trended up or down, Ideanomics has bucked the trend.
