Is Qorvo under- or over-valued?

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

Qorvo's P/E ratio

Qorvo's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 41x. In other words, Qorvo shares trade at around 41x 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.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Qorvo's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Qorvo's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$988.8 million.

However Qorvo's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Qorvo shares, or, against the total number of tradable Qorvo shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Qorvo's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Qorvo shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0283% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Qorvo shares, roughly 28 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 Qorvo.
