Is Mechel PAO under- or over-valued?

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

Mechel PAO's P/E ratio

Mechel PAO's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 1x. In other words, Mechel PAO shares trade at around 1x 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 Mechel PAO shares

There are currently 179,960 Mechel PAO shares held short by investors – that's known as Mechel PAO's "short interest". This figure is 190.9% up from 61,853 last month.

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

Mechel PAO's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Mechel PAO's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Mechel PAO shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Mechel PAO shares traded daily (recently around 899800). Mechel PAO's SIR currently stands at 0.2. In other words for every 100,000 Mechel PAO shares traded daily on the market, roughly 200 shares are currently held short.

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