Valuing Axcelis Technologies stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Axcelis Technologies's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Axcelis Technologies's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 22x. In other words, Axcelis Technologies shares trade at around 22x 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.
Axcelis Technologies's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.23. 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 Axcelis Technologies's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Axcelis Technologies's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$62.9 million.

There are currently 677,684 Axcelis Technologies shares held short by investors – that's known as Axcelis Technologies's "short interest". This figure is 22.4% up from 553,676 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Axcelis Technologies shares can be evaluated.
Axcelis Technologies's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Axcelis Technologies shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Axcelis Technologies shares traded daily (recently around 250067.89667897). Axcelis Technologies's SIR currently stands at 2.71. In other words for every 100,000 Axcelis Technologies shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2710 shares are currently held short.
However Axcelis Technologies's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Axcelis Technologies shares, or, against the total number of tradable Axcelis Technologies shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Axcelis Technologies's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Axcelis Technologies shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0243% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Axcelis Technologies shares, roughly 24 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 Axcelis Technologies.

Axcelis Technologies's shares were split on a 1:4 basis on 1 July 2016. So if you had owned 4 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Axcelis Technologies shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Axcelis Technologies shares which in turn could have impacted Axcelis Technologies's share price.

This would suggest that Axcelis Technologies's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
