Is Republic First Bancorp under- or over-valued?

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

Republic First Bancorp's P/E ratio

Republic First 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 20x. In other words, Republic First Bancorp shares trade at around 20x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Shorting Republic First Bancorp shares

There are currently 6.0 million Republic First Bancorp shares held short by investors – that's known as Republic First Bancorp's "short interest". This figure is 5.9% down from 6.3 million last month.

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

Republic First Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Republic First Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Republic First Bancorp shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Republic First Bancorp shares traded daily (recently around 173441.65212333). Republic First Bancorp's SIR currently stands at 34.38. In other words for every 100,000 Republic First Bancorp shares traded daily on the market, roughly 34380 shares are currently held short.

However Republic First Bancorp's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Republic First Bancorp shares, or, against the total number of tradable Republic First Bancorp shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Republic First Bancorp's short interest could be expressed as 0.1% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Republic First Bancorp shares in existence, roughly 100 shares are currently held short) or 0.1304% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Republic First Bancorp shares, roughly 130 shares are currently held short).

A SIR above 20% would generally be considered very high, pointing to a pessimistic outlook for the share price, with a discouraging number of investors currently willing to bet against Republic First Bancorp.
