Is The RealReal under- or over-valued?
Valuing The RealReal stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of The RealReal's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
The RealReal's P/E ratio
The RealReal's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 5x. In other words, The RealReal shares trade at around 5x 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 The RealReal shares
There are currently 10.8 million The RealReal shares held short by investors – that's known as The RealReal's "short interest". This figure is 4.5% up from 10.4 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting The RealReal shares can be evaluated.
The RealReal's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
The RealReal's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of The RealReal shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of The RealReal shares traded daily (recently around 3.0 million). The RealReal's SIR currently stands at 3.6. In other words for every 100,000 The RealReal shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3600 shares are currently held short.
However The RealReal's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of The RealReal shares, or, against the total number of tradable The RealReal shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case The RealReal's short interest could be expressed as 0.12% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 The RealReal shares in existence, roughly 120 shares are currently held short) or 0.1987% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable The RealReal shares, roughly 199 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 The RealReal.
