Is MarineMax under- or over-valued?

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

MarineMax's P/E ratio

MarineMax's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, MarineMax shares trade at around 11x 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.

MarineMax's PEG ratio

MarineMax's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.62. 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 MarineMax's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

MarineMax's EBITDA

MarineMax's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$102.2 million.

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

MarineMax's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

MarineMax's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of MarineMax shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of MarineMax shares traded daily (recently around 361492.40246407). MarineMax's SIR currently stands at 4.87. In other words for every 100,000 MarineMax shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4870 shares are currently held short.

However MarineMax's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of MarineMax shares, or, against the total number of tradable MarineMax shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case MarineMax's short interest could be expressed as 0.08% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 MarineMax shares in existence, roughly 80 shares are currently held short) or 0.1458% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable MarineMax shares, roughly 146 shares are currently held short).
