Is Vonage under- or over-valued?

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

Vonage's P/E ratio

Vonage's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 285x. In other words, Vonage shares trade at around 285x 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.

Vonage's PEG ratio

Vonage's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.04. 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 Vonage's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Vonage's EBITDA

Vonage's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$87 million.

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

Shorting Vonage shares

There are currently 14.6 million Vonage shares held short by investors – that's known as Vonage's "short interest". This figure is 4.3% up from 13.9 million last month.

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

Vonage's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Vonage's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Vonage shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Vonage shares traded daily (recently around 2.5 million). Vonage's SIR currently stands at 5.82. In other words for every 100,000 Vonage shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5820 shares are currently held short.

However Vonage's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Vonage shares, or, against the total number of tradable Vonage shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Vonage's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Vonage shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.0715% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Vonage shares, roughly 72 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 Vonage.
