Is NextGen Healthcare under- or over-valued?

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 NextGen Healthcare shares

There are currently 1.7 million NextGen Healthcare shares held short by investors – that's known as NextGen Healthcare's "short interest". This figure is 9.1% up from 1.5 million last month.

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

NextGen Healthcare's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

NextGen Healthcare's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of NextGen Healthcare shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of NextGen Healthcare shares traded daily (recently around 357972.19827586). NextGen Healthcare's SIR currently stands at 4.64. In other words for every 100,000 NextGen Healthcare shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4640 shares are currently held short.

However NextGen Healthcare's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of NextGen Healthcare shares, or, against the total number of tradable NextGen Healthcare shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case NextGen Healthcare's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 NextGen Healthcare shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0299% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable NextGen Healthcare shares, roughly 30 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 NextGen Healthcare.
