Is Level One Bancorp under- or over-valued?

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

Level One Bancorp's P/E ratio

Level One Bancorp's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, Level One Bancorp shares trade at around 9x 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.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Level One Bancorp shares can be evaluated.

Level One Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

However Level One Bancorp's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Level One Bancorp shares, or, against the total number of tradable Level One Bancorp shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Level One Bancorp's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Level One Bancorp shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0027% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Level One Bancorp shares, roughly 3 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 Level One Bancorp.
