Is JD-com under- or over-valued?

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

JD-com's P/E ratio

JD-com's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 31x. In other words, JD-com shares trade at around 31x 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.

JD-com's PEG ratio

JD-com's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.166. 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 JD-com'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 JD-com shares

There are currently 34.8 million JD-com shares held short by investors – that's known as JD-com's "short interest". This figure is 1.3% down from 35.3 million last month.

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

JD-com's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

JD-com's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of JD-com shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of JD-com shares traded daily (recently around 9.8 million). JD-com's SIR currently stands at 3.54. In other words for every 100,000 JD-com shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3540 shares are currently held short.

However JD-com's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of JD-com shares, or, against the total number of tradable JD-com shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case JD-com's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 JD-com shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable JD-com shares, roughly 0 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 JD-com.
