Is GameStop under- or over-valued?
Valuing GameStop stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of GameStop's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
GameStop's PEG ratio
GameStop's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.86. 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 GameStop's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
GameStop's EBITDA
GameStop's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$111.3 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a GameStop's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
Shorting GameStop shares
There are currently 11.1 million GameStop shares held short by investors – that's known as GameStop's "short interest". This figure is 9.1% up from 10.2 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting GameStop shares can be evaluated.
GameStop's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
GameStop's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of GameStop shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of GameStop shares traded daily (recently around 17.1 million). GameStop's SIR currently stands at 0.65. In other words for every 100,000 GameStop shares traded daily on the market, roughly 650 shares are currently held short.
However GameStop's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of GameStop shares, or, against the total number of tradable GameStop shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case GameStop's short interest could be expressed as 0.16% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 GameStop shares in existence, roughly 160 shares are currently held short) or 0.2723% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable GameStop shares, roughly 272 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 GameStop.
