Is Pure Storage under- or over-valued?
Valuing Pure Storage stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Pure Storage's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Pure Storage's PEG ratio
Pure Storage's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 5.5673. 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 Pure Storage'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 Pure Storage shares
There are currently 13.2 million Pure Storage shares held short by investors – that's known as Pure Storage's "short interest". This figure is 17.4% down from 16.0 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Pure Storage shares can be evaluated.
Pure Storage's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Pure Storage's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Pure Storage shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Pure Storage shares traded daily (recently around 6.4 million). Pure Storage's SIR currently stands at 2.05. In other words for every 100,000 Pure Storage shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2050 shares are currently held short.
However Pure Storage's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Pure Storage shares, or, against the total number of tradable Pure Storage shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Pure Storage's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Pure Storage shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.0505% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Pure Storage 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 Pure Storage.

Pure Storage share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Pure Storage's shares have ranged in value from as little as $12.19 up to $29.53. 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 Pure Storage's is 1.4528. This would suggest that Pure Storage's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
