Is Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals under- or over-valued?

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

Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals's P/E ratio

Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 5x. In other words, Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals shares trade at around 5x 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.

Shorting Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals shares

There are currently 3.9 million Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals shares held short by investors – that's known as Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals's "short interest". This figure is 2.1% up from 3.8 million last month.

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

Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily (recently around 347488.4097035). Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals's SIR currently stands at 11.13. In other words for every 100,000 Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily on the market, roughly 11130 shares are currently held short.

However Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals shares, or, against the total number of tradable Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.1364% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals shares, roughly 136 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 Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals.
