Valuing BlackRock Core Bond Trust stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of BlackRock Core Bond Trust's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
BlackRock Core Bond Trust's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 6x. In other words, BlackRock Core Bond Trust shares trade at around 6x 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.

There are currently 103,514 BlackRock Core Bond Trust shares held short by investors – that's known as BlackRock Core Bond Trust's "short interest". This figure is 7% up from 96,776 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting BlackRock Core Bond Trust shares can be evaluated.
BlackRock Core Bond Trust's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of BlackRock Core Bond Trust shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of BlackRock Core Bond Trust shares traded daily (recently around 136202.63157895). BlackRock Core Bond Trust's SIR currently stands at 0.76. In other words for every 100,000 BlackRock Core Bond Trust shares traded daily on the market, roughly 760 shares are currently held short.
However BlackRock Core Bond Trust's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of BlackRock Core Bond Trust shares, or, against the total number of tradable BlackRock Core Bond Trust shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case BlackRock Core Bond Trust's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 BlackRock Core Bond Trust shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0019% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable BlackRock Core Bond Trust shares, roughly 2 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 BlackRock Core Bond Trust.

This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), BlackRock Core Bond Trust shareholders could enjoy a 5.57% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In BlackRock Core Bond Trust's case, that would currently equate to about $0.9 per share.
