Is MetroCity Bankshares under- or over-valued?

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

MetroCity Bankshares's P/E ratio

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

There are currently 248,232 MetroCity Bankshares shares held short by investors – that's known as MetroCity Bankshares's "short interest". This figure is 4.9% down from 260,985 last month.

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

MetroCity Bankshares's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

MetroCity Bankshares's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of MetroCity Bankshares shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of MetroCity Bankshares shares traded daily (recently around 27550.721420644). MetroCity Bankshares's SIR currently stands at 9.01. In other words for every 100,000 MetroCity Bankshares shares traded daily on the market, roughly 9010 shares are currently held short.

However MetroCity Bankshares's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of MetroCity Bankshares shares, or, against the total number of tradable MetroCity Bankshares shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case MetroCity Bankshares's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 MetroCity Bankshares shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0137% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable MetroCity Bankshares shares, roughly 14 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 MetroCity Bankshares.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your MetroCity Bankshares shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for MetroCity Bankshares shares which in turn could have impacted MetroCity Bankshares's share price.
