Is JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd under- or over-valued?

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

JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd's P/E ratio

JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 36x. In other words, JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd shares trade at around 36x 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.

JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd's PEG ratio

JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.2568. 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 JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd'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 JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd shares

There are currently 6.8 million JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd shares held short by investors – that's known as JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd's "short interest". This figure is 17.9% up from 5.8 million last month.

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

JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd shares traded daily (recently around 2.6 million). JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd's SIR currently stands at 2.64. In other words for every 100,000 JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2640 shares are currently held short.

However JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd shares, or, against the total number of tradable JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd's short interest could be expressed as 0.15% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd shares in existence, roughly 150 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd 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 JinkoSolar Holding CoLtd.
