Is Monarch Casino-and-Resort under- or over-valued?
Valuing Monarch Casino-and-Resort stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Monarch Casino-and-Resort's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Monarch Casino-and-Resort shares can be evaluated.
Monarch Casino-and-Resort's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Monarch Casino-and-Resort's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Monarch Casino-and-Resort shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Monarch Casino-and-Resort shares traded daily (recently around 74036.516853933). Monarch Casino-and-Resort's SIR currently stands at 5.34. In other words for every 100,000 Monarch Casino-and-Resort shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5340 shares are currently held short.
However Monarch Casino-and-Resort's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Monarch Casino-and-Resort shares, or, against the total number of tradable Monarch Casino-and-Resort shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Monarch Casino-and-Resort's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Monarch Casino-and-Resort shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0369% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Monarch Casino-and-Resort shares, roughly 37 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 Monarch Casino-and-Resort.

Have Monarch Casino-and-Resort's shares ever split?
Monarch Casino-and-Resort's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 31 March 2005. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Monarch Casino-and-Resort shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Monarch Casino-and-Resort shares which in turn could have impacted Monarch Casino-and-Resort's share price.
