Valuing AC Immune stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of AC Immune's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
AC Immune's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 12x. In other words, AC Immune shares trade at around 12x 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.

There are currently 1.5 million AC Immune shares held short by investors – that's known as AC Immune's "short interest". This figure is 11% down from 1.7 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting AC Immune shares can be evaluated.
AC Immune's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of AC Immune shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of AC Immune shares traded daily (recently around 253685.88640275). AC Immune's SIR currently stands at 5.81. In other words for every 100,000 AC Immune shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5810 shares are currently held short.
However AC Immune's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of AC Immune shares, or, against the total number of tradable AC Immune shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case AC Immune's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 AC Immune shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0476% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable AC Immune shares, roughly 48 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 AC Immune.

We're not expecting AC Immune to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Over the last 12 months, AC Immune's shares have ranged in value from as little as $4.07 up to $10.14. 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 AC Immune's is 0.8292. This would suggest that AC Immune's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
