Is TORM under- or over-valued?

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

TORM's P/E ratio

TORM's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 7x. In other words, TORM shares trade at around 7x 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.

TORM's EBITDA

TORM's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $267 million.

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

Shorting TORM shares

There are currently 76,451 TORM shares held short by investors – that's known as TORM's "short interest". This figure is 39.1% down from 125,445 last month.

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

TORM's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

TORM's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of TORM shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of TORM shares traded daily (recently around 52724.827586207). TORM's SIR currently stands at 1.45. In other words for every 100,000 TORM shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1450 shares are currently held short.

However TORM's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of TORM shares, or, against the total number of tradable TORM shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case TORM's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 TORM shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0017% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable TORM shares, roughly 2 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 TORM.

TORM share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 64.85% of net profits

Recently TORM has paid out, on average, around 64.85% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 10.72% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), TORM shareholders could enjoy a 10.72% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In TORM's case, that would currently equate to about $0.85 per share.

TORM's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

TORM's most recent dividend payout was on 9 September 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 25 August 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have TORM's shares ever split?

TORM's shares were split on a 1:1500 basis on 23 September 2015. So if you had owned 1500 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your TORM shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 149900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for TORM shares which in turn could have impacted TORM's share price.

TORM share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, TORM's shares have ranged in value from as little as $5.8831 up to $9.44. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
