Valuing Alphabet stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Alphabet's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Alphabet's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 35x. In other words, Alphabet shares trade at around 35x 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.
Alphabet's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.459. 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 Alphabet's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Alphabet's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$54.9 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Alphabet's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 2.9 million Alphabet shares held short by investors – that's known as Alphabet's "short interest". This figure is 16.3% up from 2.5 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Alphabet shares can be evaluated.
Alphabet's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Alphabet shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Alphabet shares traded daily (recently around 1.9 million). Alphabet's SIR currently stands at 1.47. In other words for every 100,000 Alphabet shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1470 shares are currently held short.
However Alphabet's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Alphabet shares, or, against the total number of tradable Alphabet shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Alphabet's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Alphabet shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0095% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Alphabet shares, roughly 10 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 Alphabet.

Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Alphabet's overall score of 20.35 (as at 01/01/2019) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 29th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Alphabet is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).

Social score: 6.37/100
Governance score: 7.99/100
Controversy score: 4/5

We're not expecting Alphabet to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Alphabet's shares were split on a 1998:1000 basis on 3 April 2014. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1998 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Alphabet shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 49.9% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Alphabet shares which in turn could have impacted Alphabet's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Alphabet's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1008.87 up to $2122.4399. 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 Alphabet's is 0.9899. This would suggest that Alphabet's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
