Is salesforce-com under- or over-valued?

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

salesforce-com's P/E ratio

salesforce-com's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 104x. In other words, salesforce-com shares trade at around 104x 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.

salesforce-com's PEG ratio

salesforce-com's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 5.0181. 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 salesforce-com's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

salesforce-com's EBITDA

salesforce-com's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $3.6 billion.

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

Shorting salesforce-com shares

There are currently 15.7 million salesforce-com shares held short by investors – that's known as salesforce-com's "short interest". This figure is 11.8% up from 14.0 million last month.

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

salesforce-com's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

salesforce-com's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of salesforce-com shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of salesforce-com shares traded daily (recently around 6.0 million). salesforce-com's SIR currently stands at 2.6. In other words for every 100,000 salesforce-com shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2600 shares are currently held short.

However salesforce-com's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of salesforce-com shares, or, against the total number of tradable salesforce-com shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case salesforce-com's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 salesforce-com shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0166% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable salesforce-com shares, roughly 17 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 salesforce-com.
