Valuing AudioCodes stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of AudioCodes's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
AudioCodes's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 87x. In other words, AudioCodes shares trade at around 87x 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.
AudioCodes's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.83. 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 AudioCodes's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
AudioCodes's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$34.7 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a AudioCodes's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 398,493 AudioCodes shares held short by investors – that's known as AudioCodes's "short interest". This figure is 1.7% down from 405,586 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting AudioCodes shares can be evaluated.
AudioCodes's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of AudioCodes shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of AudioCodes shares traded daily (recently around 311322.65625). AudioCodes's SIR currently stands at 1.28. In other words for every 100,000 AudioCodes shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1280 shares are currently held short.
However AudioCodes's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of AudioCodes shares, or, against the total number of tradable AudioCodes shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case AudioCodes's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 AudioCodes shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.015% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable AudioCodes shares, roughly 15 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 AudioCodes.

Dividend payout ratio: 22.31% of net profits
Recently AudioCodes has paid out, on average, around 22.31% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.98% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), AudioCodes shareholders could enjoy a 0.98% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In AudioCodes's case, that would currently equate to about $0.28 per share.
While AudioCodes's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that AudioCodes is investing more in its future growth.
AudioCodes's most recent dividend payout was on 1 September 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 August 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
AudioCodes's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 10 October 2000. 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 AudioCodes shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for AudioCodes shares which in turn could have impacted AudioCodes's share price.
Over the last 12 months, AudioCodes's shares have ranged in value from as little as $8.9305 up to $44.5931. 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 AudioCodes's is 0.5827. This would suggest that AudioCodes's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
