Valuing bluebird bio stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of bluebird bio's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
bluebird bio's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.32. 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 bluebird bio'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 5.9 million bluebird bio shares held short by investors – that's known as bluebird bio's "short interest". This figure is 3.2% down from 6.1 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting bluebird bio shares can be evaluated.
bluebird bio's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of bluebird bio shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of bluebird bio shares traded daily (recently around 1.3 million). bluebird bio's SIR currently stands at 4.7. In other words for every 100,000 bluebird bio shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4700 shares are currently held short.
However bluebird bio's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of bluebird bio shares, or, against the total number of tradable bluebird bio shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case bluebird bio's short interest could be expressed as 0.09% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 bluebird bio shares in existence, roughly 90 shares are currently held short) or 0.1303% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable bluebird bio shares, roughly 130 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 bluebird bio.

We're not expecting bluebird bio to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Over the last 12 months, bluebird bio's shares have ranged in value from as little as $24.24 up to $75.995. 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 bluebird bio's is 1.7487. This would suggest that bluebird bio's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
