Valuing Altra Industrial Motion stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Altra Industrial Motion's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Altra Industrial Motion's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 14x. In other words, Altra Industrial Motion shares trade at around 14x 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.
Altra Industrial Motion's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.0995. 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 Altra Industrial Motion'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 831,086 Altra Industrial Motion shares held short by investors – that's known as Altra Industrial Motion's "short interest". This figure is 22.9% up from 676,171 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Altra Industrial Motion shares can be evaluated.

Altra Industrial Motion's SIR currently stands at 2.18. In other words for every 100,000 Altra Industrial Motion shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2180 shares are currently held short.
However Altra Industrial Motion's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Altra Industrial Motion shares, or, against the total number of tradable Altra Industrial Motion shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Altra Industrial Motion's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Altra Industrial Motion shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.013% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Altra Industrial Motion shares, roughly 13 shares are currently held short).

That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.43% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Altra Industrial Motion shareholders could enjoy a 0.43% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Altra Industrial Motion's case, that would currently equate to about $0.24 per share.
While Altra Industrial Motion's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Altra Industrial Motion is investing more in its future growth.
