Is Koninklijke Philips N-V under- or over-valued?

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

Koninklijke Philips N-V's P/E ratio

Koninklijke Philips N-V's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 35x. In other words, Koninklijke Philips N-V shares trade at around 35x 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.

Koninklijke Philips N-V's PEG ratio

Koninklijke Philips N-V's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.49. 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 Koninklijke Philips N-V'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 Koninklijke Philips N-V shares

There are currently 1.4 million Koninklijke Philips N-V shares held short by investors – that's known as Koninklijke Philips N-V's "short interest". This figure is 9.6% down from 1.6 million last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Koninklijke Philips N-V shares can be evaluated.

Koninklijke Philips N-V's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Koninklijke Philips N-V's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Koninklijke Philips N-V shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Koninklijke Philips N-V shares traded daily (recently around 268766.0412758). Koninklijke Philips N-V's SIR currently stands at 5.33. In other words for every 100,000 Koninklijke Philips N-V shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5330 shares are currently held short.

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

A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Koninklijke Philips N-V.
