Valuing Cactus stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Cactus's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Cactus's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 30x. In other words, Cactus shares trade at around 30x 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.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 909,318 Cactus shares held short by investors – that's known as Cactus's "short interest". This figure is 8.4% up from 838,789 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Cactus shares can be evaluated.
Cactus's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Cactus shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Cactus shares traded daily (recently around 315735.41666667). Cactus's SIR currently stands at 2.88. In other words for every 100,000 Cactus shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2880 shares are currently held short.
However Cactus's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Cactus shares, or, against the total number of tradable Cactus shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Cactus's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Cactus shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0192% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Cactus shares, roughly 19 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 Cactus.

Dividend payout ratio: 56.25% of net profits
Recently Cactus has paid out, on average, around 56.25% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.22% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Cactus shareholders could enjoy a 1.22% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Cactus's case, that would currently equate to about $0.36 per share.
Cactus's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Cactus's most recent dividend payout was on 18 March 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 26 February 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Cactus's shares have ranged in value from as little as $8.0628 up to $31.295. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Cactus's is 2.4901. This would suggest that Cactus's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
