Is Ingersoll Rand under- or over-valued?
Valuing Ingersoll Rand stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Ingersoll Rand's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Ingersoll Rand's P/E ratio
Ingersoll Rand's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 78x. In other words, Ingersoll Rand shares trade at around 78x 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.
Ingersoll Rand's PEG ratio
Ingersoll Rand's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.3755. 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 Ingersoll Rand's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Ingersoll Rand's EBITDA
Ingersoll Rand's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $638 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Ingersoll Rand's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 4.7 million Ingersoll Rand shares held short by investors – that's known as Ingersoll Rand's "short interest". This figure is 39.2% down from 7.7 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Ingersoll Rand shares can be evaluated.
Ingersoll Rand's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Ingersoll Rand's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Ingersoll Rand shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Ingersoll Rand shares traded daily (recently around 1.9 million). Ingersoll Rand's SIR currently stands at 2.43. In other words for every 100,000 Ingersoll Rand shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2430 shares are currently held short.
However Ingersoll Rand's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Ingersoll Rand shares, or, against the total number of tradable Ingersoll Rand shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Ingersoll Rand's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Ingersoll Rand shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0135% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Ingersoll Rand shares, roughly 14 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 Ingersoll Rand.

Ingersoll Rand share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 79.7% of net profits
Recently Ingersoll Rand has paid out, on average, around 79.7% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 8.34% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Ingersoll Rand shareholders could enjoy a 8.34% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Ingersoll Rand's case, that would currently equate to about $2.12 per share.
Ingersoll Rand's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Ingersoll Rand's most recent dividend payout was on 31 March 2020.
Have Ingersoll Rand's shares ever split?
Ingersoll Rand's shares were split on a 1252:1000 basis on 2 December 2013. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1252 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Ingersoll Rand shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 20.1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Ingersoll Rand shares which in turn could have impacted Ingersoll Rand's share price.
Ingersoll Rand share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Ingersoll Rand's shares have ranged in value from as little as $16.7172 up to $47.78. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Ingersoll Rand's is 1.5313. This would suggest that Ingersoll Rand's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
