Is VEON under- or over-valued?

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

VEON's P/E ratio

VEON's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 6x. In other words, VEON shares trade at around 6x 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.

VEON's EBITDA

VEON's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2.9 billion.

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

Shorting VEON shares

There are currently 30.6 million VEON shares held short by investors – that's known as VEON's "short interest". This figure is 45.9% up from 21.0 million last month.

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

VEON's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

VEON's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of VEON shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of VEON shares traded daily (recently around 5.9 million). VEON's SIR currently stands at 5.2. In other words for every 100,000 VEON shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5200 shares are currently held short.

However VEON's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of VEON shares, or, against the total number of tradable VEON shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case VEON's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 VEON shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable VEON shares, roughly 0 shares are currently held short).

A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against VEON.

VEON share dividends

We're not expecting VEON to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.

Have VEON's shares ever split?

VEON's shares were split on a 5:1 basis on 21 August 2007. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your VEON shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 80% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for VEON shares which in turn could have impacted VEON's share price.

VEON share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, VEON's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.2 up to $1.9. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while VEON's is 1.3491. This would suggest that VEON's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
