Is Vermilion Energy under- or over-valued?

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.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Vermilion Energy's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

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

In this case Vermilion Energy's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Vermilion Energy shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0306% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Vermilion Energy shares, roughly 31 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 Vermilion Energy.
