Is Nomad Foods under- or over-valued?

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

Nomad Foods's P/E ratio

Nomad Foods's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 24x. In other words, Nomad Foods shares trade at around 24x 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.

Nomad Foods's PEG ratio

Nomad Foods's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.38. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Nomad Foods's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Shorting Nomad Foods shares

There are currently 2.5 million Nomad Foods shares held short by investors – that's known as Nomad Foods's "short interest". This figure is 2.1% down from 2.5 million last month.

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

Nomad Foods's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Nomad Foods's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Nomad Foods shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Nomad Foods shares traded daily (recently around 739048.07121662). Nomad Foods's SIR currently stands at 3.37. In other words for every 100,000 Nomad Foods shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3370 shares are currently held short.

However Nomad Foods's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Nomad Foods shares, or, against the total number of tradable Nomad Foods shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Nomad Foods's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Nomad Foods shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0166% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Nomad Foods shares, roughly 17 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 Nomad Foods.
