Is Mistras Group under- or over-valued?

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

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.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Mistras Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

However Mistras Group's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Mistras Group shares, or, against the total number of tradable Mistras Group shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Mistras Group's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Mistras Group shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0138% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Mistras Group shares, roughly 14 shares are currently held short).
