Is Stoneridge under- or over-valued?

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

Stoneridge's P/E ratio

Stoneridge's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 10x. In other words, Stoneridge shares trade at around 10x 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.

Stoneridge's PEG ratio

Stoneridge's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 53.46. 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 Stoneridge's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Stoneridge's EBITDA

Stoneridge's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$31.4 million.

Shorting Stoneridge shares

There are currently 561,091 Stoneridge shares held short by investors – that's known as Stoneridge's "short interest". This figure is 54.8% up from 362,444 last month.

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

Stoneridge's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Stoneridge's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Stoneridge shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Stoneridge shares traded daily (recently around 128102.96803653). Stoneridge's SIR currently stands at 4.38. In other words for every 100,000 Stoneridge shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4380 shares are currently held short.

However Stoneridge's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Stoneridge shares, or, against the total number of tradable Stoneridge shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Stoneridge's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Stoneridge shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0217% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Stoneridge shares, roughly 22 shares are currently held short).

However, indirectly, the new 80% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Stoneridge shares which in turn could have impacted Stoneridge's share price.

This would suggest that Stoneridge's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
