Is Omnicell under- or over-valued?

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

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.

Omnicell's PEG ratio

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

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

Omnicell's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Omnicell's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Omnicell shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Omnicell shares traded daily (recently around 556870.63291139). Omnicell's SIR currently stands at 3.95. In other words for every 100,000 Omnicell shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3950 shares are currently held short.

However Omnicell's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Omnicell shares, or, against the total number of tradable Omnicell shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Omnicell's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Omnicell shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.07% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Omnicell shares, roughly 70 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 Omnicell.
