Is Zebra Technologies Corporation under- or over-valued?

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

Zebra Technologies Corporation's P/E ratio

Zebra Technologies Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 53x. In other words, Zebra Technologies Corporation shares trade at around 53x 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.

Zebra Technologies Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.3414. 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 Zebra Technologies Corporation'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 Zebra Technologies Corporation shares can be evaluated.

Zebra Technologies Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Zebra Technologies Corporation's SIR currently stands at 1.2. In other words for every 100,000 Zebra Technologies Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1200 shares are currently held short.

However Zebra Technologies Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Zebra Technologies Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Zebra Technologies Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Zebra Technologies Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Zebra Technologies Corporation shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0105% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Zebra Technologies Corporation shares, roughly 11 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 Zebra Technologies Corporation.
