Is MorphoSys under- or over-valued?

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

MorphoSys's P/E ratio

MorphoSys's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 46x. In other words, MorphoSys shares trade at around 46x recent earnings.

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.

Shorting MorphoSys shares

There are currently 359,305 MorphoSys shares held short by investors – that's known as MorphoSys's "short interest". This figure is 3% up from 348,967 last month.

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

MorphoSys's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

MorphoSys's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of MorphoSys shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of MorphoSys shares traded daily (recently around 56229.264475743). MorphoSys's SIR currently stands at 6.39. In other words for every 100,000 MorphoSys shares traded daily on the market, roughly 6390 shares are currently held short.

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

MorphoSys share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, MorphoSys's shares have ranged in value from as little as $18.21 up to $37.9609. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while MorphoSys's is 1.0527. This would suggest that MorphoSys's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
