Is TE Connectivity under- or over-valued?

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

TE Connectivity's P/E ratio

TE Connectivity's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 43x. In other words, TE Connectivity shares trade at around 43x 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.

TE Connectivity's PEG ratio

TE Connectivity's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.3833. 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 TE Connectivity's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

TE Connectivity's EBITDA

Shorting TE Connectivity shares

There are currently 3.0 million TE Connectivity shares held short by investors – that's known as TE Connectivity's "short interest". This figure is 17.6% up from 2.5 million last month.

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

TE Connectivity's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

TE Connectivity's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of TE Connectivity shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of TE Connectivity shares traded daily (recently around 1.3 million). TE Connectivity's SIR currently stands at 2.25. In other words for every 100,000 TE Connectivity shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2250 shares are currently held short.

However TE Connectivity's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of TE Connectivity shares, or, against the total number of tradable TE Connectivity shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case TE Connectivity's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 TE Connectivity shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0091% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable TE Connectivity shares, roughly 9 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 TE Connectivity.

TE Connectivity share dividends

Recently TE Connectivity has paid out, on average, around 40.92% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.49% of the current stock value.

In TE Connectivity's case, that would currently equate to about $1.92 per share.

While TE Connectivity's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that TE Connectivity may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
