Valuing Cyanotech Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Cyanotech Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Cyanotech Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 34x. In other words, Cyanotech Corporation shares trade at around 34x 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.
Cyanotech Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$2.6 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Cyanotech Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 2,042 Cyanotech Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Cyanotech Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 43.6% down from 3,619 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Cyanotech Corporation shares can be evaluated.
Cyanotech Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Cyanotech Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Cyanotech Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 34033.333333333). Cyanotech Corporation's SIR currently stands at 0.06. In other words for every 100,000 Cyanotech Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 60 shares are currently held short.
However Cyanotech Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Cyanotech Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Cyanotech Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Cyanotech Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Cyanotech Corporation shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0007% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Cyanotech Corporation shares, roughly 1 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 Cyanotech Corporation.

We're not expecting Cyanotech Corporation to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Cyanotech Corporation's shares were split on a 1:4 basis on 6 November 2006. 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 Cyanotech Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Cyanotech Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Cyanotech Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Cyanotech Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.82 up to $3.45. 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 Cyanotech Corporation's is 0.3995. This would suggest that Cyanotech Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
