Valuing Avadel Pharmaceuticals stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Avadel Pharmaceuticals's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Avadel Pharmaceuticals's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 21x. In other words, Avadel Pharmaceuticals shares trade at around 21x 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.
Avadel Pharmaceuticals's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.07. 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 Avadel Pharmaceuticals'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 4.1 million Avadel Pharmaceuticals shares held short by investors – that's known as Avadel Pharmaceuticals's "short interest". This figure is 6.5% down from 4.4 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Avadel Pharmaceuticals shares can be evaluated.
Avadel Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Avadel Pharmaceuticals shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Avadel Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily (recently around 483229.52941176). Avadel Pharmaceuticals's SIR currently stands at 8.5. In other words for every 100,000 Avadel Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily on the market, roughly 8500 shares are currently held short.
However Avadel Pharmaceuticals's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Avadel Pharmaceuticals shares, or, against the total number of tradable Avadel Pharmaceuticals shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Avadel Pharmaceuticals's short interest could be expressed as 0.07% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Avadel Pharmaceuticals shares in existence, roughly 70 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Avadel Pharmaceuticals shares, roughly 0 shares are currently held short).
A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Avadel Pharmaceuticals.

We're not expecting Avadel Pharmaceuticals to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Over the last 12 months, Avadel Pharmaceuticals's shares have ranged in value from as little as $4 up to $12. 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 Avadel Pharmaceuticals's is 1.6063. This would suggest that Avadel Pharmaceuticals's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
