Is MEDNAX under- or over-valued?

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

MEDNAX's P/E ratio

MEDNAX's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, MEDNAX shares trade at around 9x 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.

MEDNAX's PEG ratio

MEDNAX's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.88. 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 MEDNAX's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

MEDNAX's EBITDA

MEDNAX's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $200.4 million.

The EBITDA is a measure of a MEDNAX's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Shorting MEDNAX shares

There are currently 8.2 million MEDNAX shares held short by investors – that's known as MEDNAX's "short interest". This figure is 32.6% up from 6.2 million last month.

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

MEDNAX's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

MEDNAX's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of MEDNAX shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of MEDNAX shares traded daily (recently around 1.1 million). MEDNAX's SIR currently stands at 7.82. In other words for every 100,000 MEDNAX shares traded daily on the market, roughly 7820 shares are currently held short.

However MEDNAX's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of MEDNAX shares, or, against the total number of tradable MEDNAX shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case MEDNAX's short interest could be expressed as 0.1% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 MEDNAX shares in existence, roughly 100 shares are currently held short) or 0.1322% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable MEDNAX shares, roughly 132 shares are currently held short).

A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against MEDNAX.
