Is Wells Fargo-and-Company under- or over-valued?

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

Wells Fargo-and-Company's P/E ratio

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

Wells Fargo-and-Company's PEG ratio

Wells Fargo-and-Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.21. 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 Wells Fargo-and-Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Shorting Wells Fargo-and-Company shares

There are currently 42.2 million Wells Fargo-and-Company shares held short by investors – that's known as Wells Fargo-and-Company's "short interest". This figure is 9% down from 46.4 million last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Wells Fargo-and-Company shares can be evaluated.

Wells Fargo-and-Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Wells Fargo-and-Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Wells Fargo-and-Company shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Wells Fargo-and-Company shares traded daily (recently around 30.3 million). Wells Fargo-and-Company's SIR currently stands at 1.39. In other words for every 100,000 Wells Fargo-and-Company shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1390 shares are currently held short.

However Wells Fargo-and-Company's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Wells Fargo-and-Company shares, or, against the total number of tradable Wells Fargo-and-Company shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Wells Fargo-and-Company's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Wells Fargo-and-Company shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0103% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Wells Fargo-and-Company shares, roughly 10 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 Wells Fargo-and-Company.

Have Wells Fargo-and-Company's shares ever split?

Wells Fargo-and-Company's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 13 August 2006. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Wells Fargo-and-Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Wells Fargo-and-Company shares which in turn could have impacted Wells Fargo-and-Company's share price.

Wells Fargo-and-Company share price volatility
