Is OneSpan under- or over-valued?
Valuing OneSpan stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of OneSpan's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
OneSpan's P/E ratio
OneSpan's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 548x. In other words, OneSpan shares trade at around 548x 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 OneSpan shares
There are currently 1.9 million OneSpan shares held short by investors – that's known as OneSpan's "short interest". This figure is 3.6% down from 2.0 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting OneSpan shares can be evaluated.
OneSpan's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
OneSpan's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of OneSpan shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of OneSpan shares traded daily (recently around 269590.83094556). OneSpan's SIR currently stands at 6.98. In other words for every 100,000 OneSpan shares traded daily on the market, roughly 6980 shares are currently held short.
However OneSpan's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of OneSpan shares, or, against the total number of tradable OneSpan shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case OneSpan's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 OneSpan shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.0665% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable OneSpan shares, roughly 67 shares are currently held short).
A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against OneSpan.

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while OneSpan's is 0.5864. This would suggest that OneSpan's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
