Valuing Acacia Communications stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Acacia Communications's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Acacia Communications's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 72x. In other words, Acacia Communications shares trade at around 72x 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.
Acacia Communications's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 58.4. 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 Acacia Communications's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

There are currently 4.6 million Acacia Communications shares held short by investors – that's known as Acacia Communications's "short interest". This figure is 33.7% up from 3.4 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Acacia Communications shares can be evaluated.
Acacia Communications's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Acacia Communications shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Acacia Communications shares traded daily (recently around 1.8 million). Acacia Communications's SIR currently stands at 2.5. In other words for every 100,000 Acacia Communications shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2500 shares are currently held short.
However Acacia Communications's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Acacia Communications shares, or, against the total number of tradable Acacia Communications shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Acacia Communications's short interest could be expressed as 0.11% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Acacia Communications shares in existence, roughly 110 shares are currently held short) or 0.1165% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Acacia Communications shares, roughly 117 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 Acacia Communications.
