Is Trupanion under- or over-valued?
Valuing Trupanion stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Trupanion's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

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.

There are currently 2.9 million Trupanion shares held short by investors – that's known as Trupanion's "short interest". This figure is 9.1% down from 3.2 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Trupanion shares can be evaluated.
Trupanion's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Trupanion's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Trupanion shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Trupanion shares traded daily (recently around 438200.60790274). Trupanion's SIR currently stands at 6.58. In other words for every 100,000 Trupanion shares traded daily on the market, roughly 6580 shares are currently held short.
However Trupanion's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Trupanion shares, or, against the total number of tradable Trupanion shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Trupanion's short interest could be expressed as 0.07% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Trupanion shares in existence, roughly 70 shares are currently held short) or 0.0797% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Trupanion shares, roughly 80 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 Trupanion.
