Is Zendesk under- or over-valued?

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

Zendesk's PEG ratio

Zendesk's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.7755. 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 Zendesk'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 Zendesk shares

There are currently 7.1 million Zendesk shares held short by investors – that's known as Zendesk's "short interest". This figure is 1.1% down from 7.2 million last month.

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

Zendesk's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Zendesk's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Zendesk shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Zendesk shares traded daily (recently around 1.5 million). Zendesk's SIR currently stands at 4.61. In other words for every 100,000 Zendesk shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4610 shares are currently held short.

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

Zendesk share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Zendesk's shares have ranged in value from as little as $103.28 up to $166.6. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Zendesk's is 1.1942. This would suggest that Zendesk's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
