Is Aphria under- or over-valued?
Valuing Aphria stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Aphria's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Aphria's P/E ratio
Aphria's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 61x. In other words, Aphria shares trade at around 61x 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.
Aphria's EBITDA
Aphria's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$9 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Aphria's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
Shorting Aphria shares
There are currently 16.0 million Aphria shares held short by investors – that's known as Aphria's "short interest". This figure is 12% up from 14.3 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Aphria shares can be evaluated.
Aphria's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Aphria's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Aphria shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Aphria shares traded daily (recently around 16.6 million). Aphria's SIR currently stands at 0.96. In other words for every 100,000 Aphria shares traded daily on the market, roughly 960 shares are currently held short.
However Aphria's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Aphria shares, or, against the total number of tradable Aphria shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Aphria's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Aphria shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Aphria shares, roughly 0 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 Aphria.
