Valuing Abiomed stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Abiomed's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Abiomed's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 67x. In other words, Abiomed shares trade at around 67x 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.
Abiomed's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.75. 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 Abiomed's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Abiomed's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$248 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Abiomed's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 1.9 million Abiomed shares held short by investors – that's known as Abiomed's "short interest". This figure is 5.6% down from 2.1 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Abiomed shares can be evaluated.
Abiomed's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Abiomed shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Abiomed shares traded daily (recently around 223256.8627451). Abiomed's SIR currently stands at 8.67. In other words for every 100,000 Abiomed shares traded daily on the market, roughly 8670 shares are currently held short.
However Abiomed's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Abiomed shares, or, against the total number of tradable Abiomed shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Abiomed's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Abiomed shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.049% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Abiomed shares, roughly 49 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 Abiomed.

We're not expecting Abiomed to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Abiomed's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 2 October 2000. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Abiomed shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Abiomed shares which in turn could have impacted Abiomed's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Abiomed's shares have ranged in value from as little as $119.0101 up to $319.19. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Abiomed's is 1.358. This would suggest that Abiomed's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
