Is it a good time to buy Nokia stock?

Is Nokia 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

Nokia's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.6376. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value 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 Nokia's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

EBITDA

Nokia's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $3 billion (£2.2 billion).

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

How to short and sell Nokia shares

1. Create a CFD or spread betting account.
2. Search for the stock code. E.g. "NOK.US"
3. Choose your position size.
4. Select "sell" rather than "buy".
5. Confirm your position and keep tabs on it. You may wish to set limits on your position.

There are currently 29.1 million Nokia shares held short by investors – that's known as the "short interest". This figure is 13% down from 33.4 million last month.

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

Short interest ratio (SIR)

Nokia's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Nokia shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Nokia shares traded daily (recently around 38.2 million). Nokia's SIR currently stands at 0.76. In other words for every 100,000 Nokia shares traded daily on the market, roughly 760 shares are currently held short.

However Nokia's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Nokia shares, or, against the total number of tradable Nokia shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Nokia's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Nokia shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0063% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Nokia shares, roughly 6 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 Nokia.

Nokia share dividends

• Dividend yield
• Forward yield

Nokia has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 3.81% of its share value annually.

Nokia's most recent dividend payout was on 12 August 2019. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 July 2019 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Nokia's shares ever split?

Nokia's shares were split on a 4:1 basis on 10 April 2000. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Nokia shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 75% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Nokia shares which in turn could have impacted Nokia's share price.

Share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Nokia's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.23 up to $5.96. 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 Nokia's is 0.5675. This would suggest that Nokia's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
