Is Insight Enterprises under- or over-valued?

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.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Insight Enterprises'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 Insight Enterprises shares

There are currently 2.4 million Insight Enterprises shares held short by investors – that's known as Insight Enterprises's "short interest". This figure is 2% up from 2.3 million last month.

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

Insight Enterprises's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Insight Enterprises's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Insight Enterprises shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Insight Enterprises shares traded daily (recently around 228182.34165067). Insight Enterprises's SIR currently stands at 10.42. In other words for every 100,000 Insight Enterprises shares traded daily on the market, roughly 10420 shares are currently held short.

However Insight Enterprises's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Insight Enterprises shares, or, against the total number of tradable Insight Enterprises shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Insight Enterprises's short interest could be expressed as 0.07% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Insight Enterprises shares in existence, roughly 70 shares are currently held short) or 0.112% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Insight Enterprises shares, roughly 112 shares are currently held short).

A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against Insight Enterprises.

However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Insight Enterprises shares which in turn could have impacted Insight Enterprises's share price.
