Is RCM Technologies under- or over-valued?

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 RCM Technologies shares

There are currently 105,220 RCM Technologies shares held short by investors – that's known as RCM Technologies's "short interest". This figure is 34% down from 159,370 last month.

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

RCM Technologies's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

RCM Technologies's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of RCM Technologies shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of RCM Technologies shares traded daily (recently around 404692.30769231). RCM Technologies's SIR currently stands at 0.26. In other words for every 100,000 RCM Technologies shares traded daily on the market, roughly 260 shares are currently held short.

However RCM Technologies's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of RCM Technologies shares, or, against the total number of tradable RCM Technologies shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case RCM Technologies's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 RCM Technologies shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.014% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable RCM Technologies shares, roughly 14 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 RCM Technologies.
