Is Siebert Financial under- or over-valued?

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

Siebert Financial's P/E ratio

Siebert Financial's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 59x. In other words, Siebert Financial shares trade at around 59x 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.

Shorting Siebert Financial shares

There are currently 283,813 Siebert Financial shares held short by investors – that's known as Siebert Financial's "short interest". This figure is 0.5% down from 285,232 last month.

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

Siebert Financial's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Siebert Financial's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Siebert Financial shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Siebert Financial shares traded daily (recently around 22435.81027668). Siebert Financial's SIR currently stands at 12.65. In other words for every 100,000 Siebert Financial shares traded daily on the market, roughly 12650 shares are currently held short.

However Siebert Financial's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Siebert Financial shares, or, against the total number of tradable Siebert Financial shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Siebert Financial's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Siebert Financial shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0244% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Siebert Financial shares, roughly 24 shares are currently held short).

A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against Siebert Financial.
