Is Linx S-A under- or over-valued?

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

Linx S-A's P/E ratio

Linx S-A's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 1491x. In other words, Linx S-A shares trade at around 1491x 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.

Linx S-A's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

In this case Linx S-A's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Linx S-A shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Linx S-A shares, roughly 0 shares are currently held short).
