Is OneMain under- or over-valued?

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

OneMain's P/E ratio

OneMain's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, OneMain shares trade at around 9x 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.

OneMain's PEG ratio

OneMain's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.61. 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 OneMain'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 OneMain shares

There are currently 2.9 million OneMain shares held short by investors – that's known as OneMain's "short interest". This figure is 1.3% down from 2.9 million last month.

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

OneMain's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

OneMain's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of OneMain shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of OneMain shares traded daily (recently around 731554.1025641). OneMain's SIR currently stands at 3.9. In other words for every 100,000 OneMain shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3900 shares are currently held short.

However OneMain's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of OneMain shares, or, against the total number of tradable OneMain shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case OneMain's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 OneMain shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0375% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable OneMain shares, roughly 38 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 OneMain.

OneMain share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 108.77% of net profits

Recently OneMain has paid out, on average, around 108.77% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 8.67% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), OneMain shareholders could enjoy a 8.67% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In OneMain's case, that would currently equate to about $3.44 per share.

OneMain's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

OneMain's most recent dividend payout was on 17 November 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 November 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

OneMain share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, OneMain's shares have ranged in value from as little as $11.0426 up to $41.5487. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while OneMain's is 2.2871. This would suggest that OneMain's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
