Valuing Akumin stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Akumin's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Akumin'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, Akumin 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.

There are currently 9,512 Akumin shares held short by investors – that's known as Akumin's "short interest". This figure is 1.8% up from 9,342 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Akumin shares can be evaluated.
Akumin's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Akumin shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Akumin shares traded daily (recently around 95120). Akumin's SIR currently stands at 0.1. In other words for every 100,000 Akumin shares traded daily on the market, roughly 100 shares are currently held short.
However Akumin's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Akumin shares, or, against the total number of tradable Akumin shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Akumin's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Akumin shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Akumin shares, roughly 0 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 Akumin.

We're not expecting Akumin to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Over the last 12 months, Akumin's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.7 up to $3.78. 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 Akumin's is 1.3819. This would suggest that Akumin's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
