Is MVC Capital under- or over-valued?

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

MVC Capital's P/E ratio

MVC Capital's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 5x. In other words, MVC Capital shares trade at around 5x 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 MVC Capital shares

There are currently 15,937 MVC Capital shares held short by investors – that's known as MVC Capital's "short interest". This figure is 28.4% down from 22,261 last month.

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

MVC Capital's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

MVC Capital's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of MVC Capital shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of MVC Capital shares traded daily (recently around 69291.304347826). MVC Capital's SIR currently stands at 0.23. In other words for every 100,000 MVC Capital shares traded daily on the market, roughly 230 shares are currently held short.

However MVC Capital's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of MVC Capital shares, or, against the total number of tradable MVC Capital shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case MVC Capital's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 MVC Capital shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.001% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable MVC Capital shares, roughly 1 shares are currently held short).

Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against MVC Capital.
