Is Analog Devices under- or over-valued?

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

Analog Devices's P/E ratio

Analog Devices's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 46x. In other words, Analog Devices shares trade at around 46x 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.

Analog Devices's PEG ratio

Analog Devices's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.6816. 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 Analog Devices's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Analog Devices's EBITDA

Analog Devices's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$2.4 billion.

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

Shorting Analog Devices shares

There are currently 24.5 million Analog Devices shares held short by investors – that's known as Analog Devices's "short interest". This figure is 7.2% up from 22.8 million last month.

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

Analog Devices's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Analog Devices's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Analog Devices shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Analog Devices shares traded daily (recently around 2.7 million). Analog Devices's SIR currently stands at 9.1. In other words for every 100,000 Analog Devices shares traded daily on the market, roughly 9100 shares are currently held short.

However Analog Devices's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Analog Devices shares, or, against the total number of tradable Analog Devices shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Analog Devices's short interest could be expressed as 0.07% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Analog Devices shares in existence, roughly 70 shares are currently held short) or 0.0707% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Analog Devices shares, roughly 71 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 Analog Devices.
