Is Niu Technologies under- or over-valued?

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

Niu Technologies's P/E ratio

Niu Technologies's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 106x. In other words, Niu Technologies shares trade at around 106x 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 Niu Technologies shares

There are currently 927,856 Niu Technologies shares held short by investors – that's known as Niu Technologies's "short interest". This figure is 12.7% up from 823,096 last month.

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

Niu Technologies's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Niu Technologies's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Niu Technologies shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Niu Technologies shares traded daily (recently around 1.8 million). Niu Technologies's SIR currently stands at 0.52. In other words for every 100,000 Niu Technologies shares traded daily on the market, roughly 520 shares are currently held short.

However Niu Technologies's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Niu Technologies shares, or, against the total number of tradable Niu Technologies shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Niu Technologies's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Niu Technologies shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Niu Technologies shares, roughly 0 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 Niu Technologies.
