Is ZAGG under- or over-valued?

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

ZAGG's P/E ratio

ZAGG's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 41x. In other words, ZAGG shares trade at around 41x 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.

ZAGG's PEG ratio

ZAGG's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.69. 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 ZAGG's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

ZAGG's EBITDA

ZAGG's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$35.9 million.

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

There are currently 2.8 million ZAGG shares held short by investors – that's known as ZAGG's "short interest". This figure is 1.1% up from 2.7 million last month.

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

ZAGG's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

ZAGG's SIR currently stands at 4.38. In other words for every 100,000 ZAGG shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4380 shares are currently held short.

However ZAGG's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of ZAGG shares, or, against the total number of tradable ZAGG shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case ZAGG's short interest could be expressed as 0.09% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 ZAGG shares in existence, roughly 90 shares are currently held short) or 0.0953% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable ZAGG shares, roughly 95 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 ZAGG.
