Is RadNet under- or over-valued?

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

RadNet's P/E ratio

RadNet's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 397x. In other words, RadNet shares trade at around 397x 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.

RadNet's PEG ratio

RadNet's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.32. 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 RadNet's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

RadNet's EBITDA

RadNet's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$119.4 million.

The EBITDA is a measure of a RadNet's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Shorting RadNet shares

There are currently 1.2 million RadNet shares held short by investors – that's known as RadNet's "short interest". This figure is 6.1% down from 1.2 million last month.

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

RadNet's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

RadNet's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of RadNet shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of RadNet shares traded daily (recently around 248928.94168467). RadNet's SIR currently stands at 4.63. In other words for every 100,000 RadNet shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4630 shares are currently held short.

However RadNet's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of RadNet shares, or, against the total number of tradable RadNet shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case RadNet's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 RadNet shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0312% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable RadNet shares, roughly 31 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 RadNet.

Have RadNet's shares ever split?

RadNet's shares were split on a 1:2 basis on 28 November 2006. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your RadNet shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 100% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for RadNet shares which in turn could have impacted RadNet's share price.

RadNet share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, RadNet's shares have ranged in value from as little as $5.81 up to $23.45. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while RadNet's is 1.4628. This would suggest that RadNet's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
