Is Cisco Systems under- or over-valued?

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

Cisco Systems's P/E ratio

Cisco Systems's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 18x. In other words, Cisco Systems shares trade at around 18x 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.

Cisco Systems's PEG ratio

Cisco Systems's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.9527. 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 Cisco Systems's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Cisco Systems's EBITDA

Cisco Systems's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$15.2 billion.

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

Shorting Cisco Systems shares

There are currently 40.8 million Cisco Systems shares held short by investors – that's known as Cisco Systems's "short interest". This figure is 8.5% up from 37.7 million last month.

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

Cisco Systems's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Cisco Systems's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Cisco Systems shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Cisco Systems shares traded daily (recently around 18.1 million). Cisco Systems's SIR currently stands at 2.26. In other words for every 100,000 Cisco Systems shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2260 shares are currently held short.

However Cisco Systems's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Cisco Systems shares, or, against the total number of tradable Cisco Systems shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Cisco Systems's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Cisco Systems shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0097% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Cisco Systems 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 Cisco Systems.
