Is Liquidia Corporation under- or over-valued?

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

Liquidia Corporation's P/E ratio

Liquidia Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 4x. In other words, Liquidia Corporation shares trade at around 4x 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 Liquidia Corporation shares

There are currently 1.3 million Liquidia Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Liquidia Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 24.5% down from 1.8 million last month.

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

Liquidia Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Liquidia Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Liquidia Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Liquidia Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 1.4 million). Liquidia Corporation's SIR currently stands at 0.94. In other words for every 100,000 Liquidia Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 940 shares are currently held short.

However Liquidia Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Liquidia Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Liquidia Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Liquidia Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Liquidia Corporation shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0321% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Liquidia Corporation shares, roughly 32 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 Liquidia Corporation.
