Is PDL Community Bancorp under- or over-valued?

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

PDL Community Bancorp's P/E ratio

PDL Community Bancorp's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 85x. In other words, PDL Community Bancorp shares trade at around 85x 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 PDL Community Bancorp shares

There are currently 131,879 PDL Community Bancorp shares held short by investors – that's known as PDL Community Bancorp's "short interest". This figure is 7.8% up from 122,338 last month.

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

PDL Community Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

PDL Community Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of PDL Community Bancorp shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of PDL Community Bancorp shares traded daily (recently around 11609.066901408). PDL Community Bancorp's SIR currently stands at 11.36. In other words for every 100,000 PDL Community Bancorp shares traded daily on the market, roughly 11360 shares are currently held short.

However PDL Community Bancorp's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of PDL Community Bancorp shares, or, against the total number of tradable PDL Community Bancorp shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case PDL Community Bancorp's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 PDL Community Bancorp shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0183% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable PDL Community Bancorp shares, roughly 18 shares are currently held short).

A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against PDL Community Bancorp.
