Magic Software Enterprises's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 48x. In other words, Magic Software Enterprises shares trade at around 48x 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.
Magic Software Enterprises's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.08. 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 Magic Software Enterprises's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 6,813 Magic Software Enterprises shares held short by investors – that's known as Magic Software Enterprises's "short interest". This figure is 53.9% down from 14,776 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Magic Software Enterprises shares can be evaluated.
Magic Software Enterprises's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Magic Software Enterprises shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Magic Software Enterprises shares traded daily (recently around 61936.363636364). Magic Software Enterprises's SIR currently stands at 0.11. In other words for every 100,000 Magic Software Enterprises shares traded daily on the market, roughly 110 shares are currently held short.
However Magic Software Enterprises's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Magic Software Enterprises shares, or, against the total number of tradable Magic Software Enterprises shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Magic Software Enterprises's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Magic Software Enterprises shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0003% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Magic Software Enterprises shares, roughly 0 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 Magic Software Enterprises.

Dividend payout ratio: 46.36% of net profits
Recently Magic Software Enterprises has paid out, on average, around 46.36% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.58% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Magic Software Enterprises shareholders could enjoy a 1.58% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Magic Software Enterprises's case, that would currently equate to about $0.255 per share.
While Magic Software Enterprises's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Magic Software Enterprises may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Magic Software Enterprises's most recent dividend payout was on 10 September 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 27 August 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Magic Software Enterprises's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 14 February 2000. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Magic Software Enterprises shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Magic Software Enterprises shares which in turn could have impacted Magic Software Enterprises's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Magic Software Enterprises's shares have ranged in value from as little as $6.1965 up to $18.354. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Magic Software Enterprises's is 1.3634. This would suggest that Magic Software Enterprises's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
