Despite a P/E ratio of 64.27, which is higher than the market average, the company's P/B ratio of 1.72 indicates a reasonably valued balance sheet [2].
PECO's short interest stands at 3.07% of the float, indicating a healthy level of short selling. The short interest ratio, or "days to cover," is 4.3, suggesting that it would take approximately 4.3 days for short sellers to cover their positions if the stock were to rise to the current price level [2].
Investors should keep an eye on PECO's upcoming earnings report and any further developments in the company's dividend policy. The company's continued strength in its operating performance and growth of high-quality cash flows may provide a favorable balance of defense, offense, and growing cash flow for shareholders [1].
