Is SciPlay under- or over-valued?
Valuing SciPlay stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of SciPlay's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
SciPlay's P/E ratio
SciPlay's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 10x. In other words, SciPlay shares trade at around 10x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
SciPlay's EBITDA
SciPlay's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $156.8 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a SciPlay's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 1.6 million SciPlay shares held short by investors – that's known as SciPlay's "short interest". This figure is 8.6% up from 1.5 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting SciPlay shares can be evaluated.
SciPlay's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
SciPlay's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of SciPlay shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of SciPlay shares traded daily (recently around 401644.78371501). SciPlay's SIR currently stands at 3.93. In other words for every 100,000 SciPlay shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3930 shares are currently held short.
However SciPlay's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of SciPlay shares, or, against the total number of tradable SciPlay shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case SciPlay's short interest could be expressed as 0.07% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 SciPlay shares in existence, roughly 70 shares are currently held short) or 0.0814% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable SciPlay shares, roughly 81 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 SciPlay.
