Is Acorda Therapeutics under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value.
PEG ratio
Acorda Therapeutics's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.51. A PEG ratio below 1 can be interpreted as meaning the shares are not overvalued given the current rate of growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Acorda Therapeutics's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Acorda Therapeutics's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.

How to short and sell Acorda Therapeutics shares
- Create a CFD or spread betting account.
- Search for the stock code. E.g. "ACOR.US"
- Choose your position size.
- Select "sell" rather than "buy".
- Confirm your position and keep tabs on it. You may wish to set limits on your position.
There are currently 1.2 million Acorda Therapeutics shares held short by investors – that's known as the "short interest". This figure is 7.1% up from 1.2 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Acorda Therapeutics shares can be evaluated.
Short interest ratio (SIR)
Acorda Therapeutics's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Acorda Therapeutics shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Acorda Therapeutics shares traded daily (recently around 170649.17582418). Acorda Therapeutics's SIR currently stands at 7.28. In other words for every 100,000 Acorda Therapeutics shares traded daily on the market, roughly 7280 shares are currently held short.
To gain some more context, you can compare Acorda Therapeutics's short interest ratio against those of similar companies.
- Citius Pharmaceuticals (CTXR.US): 2.11
- KemPharm (KMPH.US): 1.07
However Acorda Therapeutics's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Acorda Therapeutics shares, or, against the total number of tradable Acorda Therapeutics shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Acorda Therapeutics's short interest could be expressed as 0.13% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Acorda Therapeutics shares in existence, roughly 130 shares are currently held short) or 0.1334% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Acorda Therapeutics shares, roughly 133 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 Acorda Therapeutics.

Have Acorda Therapeutics's shares ever split?
Acorda Therapeutics's shares were split on a 1:6 basis on 3 January 2021. So if you had owned 6 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Acorda Therapeutics shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 500% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Acorda Therapeutics shares which in turn could have impacted Acorda Therapeutics's share price.
Share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Acorda Therapeutics's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.5344 up to $8.66. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Acorda Therapeutics's is 0.61. This would suggest that Acorda Therapeutics's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
To put Acorda Therapeutics's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
- Citius Pharmaceuticals (CTXR.US): 1.5378
- KemPharm (KMPH.US): 3.3602
