Is PC Connection under- or over-valued?

PC Connection's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 21x. In other words, PC Connection shares trade at around 21x 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.

PC Connection's PEG ratio

PC Connection's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.62. 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 PC Connection'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 PC Connection shares can be evaluated.

PC Connection's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

PC Connection's SIR currently stands at 5.08. In other words for every 100,000 PC Connection shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5080 shares are currently held short.

However PC Connection's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of PC Connection shares, or, against the total number of tradable PC Connection shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case PC Connection's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 PC Connection shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0304% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable PC Connection shares, roughly 30 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 PC Connection.

PC Connection share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 14.95% of net profits

Recently PC Connection has paid out, on average, around 14.95% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.81% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), PC Connection shareholders could enjoy a 0.81% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In PC Connection's case, that would currently equate to about $N/A per share.

While PC Connection's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that PC Connection is investing more in its future growth.

However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for PC Connection shares which in turn could have impacted PC Connection's share price.
