Is LeMaitre Vascular under- or over-valued?

Shorting LeMaitre Vascular shares

There are currently 1.6 million LeMaitre Vascular shares held short by investors – that's known as LeMaitre Vascular's "short interest". This figure is 0.2% up from 1.6 million last month.

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

LeMaitre Vascular's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

LeMaitre Vascular's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of LeMaitre Vascular shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of LeMaitre Vascular shares traded daily (recently around 126661.11553785). LeMaitre Vascular's SIR currently stands at 12.55. In other words for every 100,000 LeMaitre Vascular shares traded daily on the market, roughly 12550 shares are currently held short.

However LeMaitre Vascular's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of LeMaitre Vascular shares, or, against the total number of tradable LeMaitre Vascular shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case LeMaitre Vascular's short interest could be expressed as 0.08% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 LeMaitre Vascular shares in existence, roughly 80 shares are currently held short) or 0.1073% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable LeMaitre Vascular shares, roughly 107 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 LeMaitre Vascular.

Recently LeMaitre Vascular has paid out, on average, around 29.92% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.82% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), LeMaitre Vascular shareholders could enjoy a 0.82% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In LeMaitre Vascular's case, that would currently equate to about $0.38 per share.

While LeMaitre Vascular's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that LeMaitre Vascular may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

LeMaitre Vascular's most recent dividend payout was on 24 March 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 March 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

This would suggest that LeMaitre Vascular's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
