Is ON Semiconductor Corporation under- or over-valued?

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

ON Semiconductor Corporation's P/E ratio

ON Semiconductor Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 60x. In other words, ON Semiconductor Corporation shares trade at around 60x 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.

ON Semiconductor Corporation's PEG ratio

ON Semiconductor Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.2207. 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 ON Semiconductor Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

ON Semiconductor Corporation's EBITDA

ON Semiconductor Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$1 billion.

The EBITDA is a measure of a ON Semiconductor Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Shorting ON Semiconductor Corporation shares

There are currently 18.7 million ON Semiconductor Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as ON Semiconductor Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 19.2% down from 23.1 million last month.

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

ON Semiconductor Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

ON Semiconductor Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of ON Semiconductor Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of ON Semiconductor Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 7.5 million). ON Semiconductor Corporation's SIR currently stands at 2.51. In other words for every 100,000 ON Semiconductor Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2510 shares are currently held short.

However ON Semiconductor Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of ON Semiconductor Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable ON Semiconductor Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case ON Semiconductor Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 ON Semiconductor Corporation shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.0513% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable ON Semiconductor Corporation shares, roughly 51 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 ON Semiconductor Corporation.
