Valuing Aspen Technology stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Aspen Technology's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Aspen Technology's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 57x. In other words, Aspen Technology shares trade at around 57x 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.
Aspen Technology's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.7367. 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 Aspen Technology's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Aspen Technology's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $146.7 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Aspen Technology's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

We're not expecting Aspen Technology to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Aspen Technology's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 2 March 1997. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Aspen Technology shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Aspen Technology shares which in turn could have impacted Aspen Technology's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Aspen Technology's shares have ranged in value from as little as $122.29 up to $231.26. 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 Aspen Technology's is 1.187. This would suggest that Aspen Technology's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
