Valuing Harley-Davidson stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Harley-Davidson's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Harley-Davidson's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 51x. In other words, Harley-Davidson shares trade at around 51x 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.
Harley-Davidson's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 11.7812. 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 Harley-Davidson's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Harley-Davidson's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$433.2 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Harley-Davidson's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 18.9 million Harley-Davidson shares held short by investors – that's known as Harley-Davidson's "short interest". This figure is 10.8% down from 21.2 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Harley-Davidson shares can be evaluated.
Harley-Davidson's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Harley-Davidson shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Harley-Davidson shares traded daily (recently around 1.7 million). Harley-Davidson's SIR currently stands at 10.83. In other words for every 100,000 Harley-Davidson shares traded daily on the market, roughly 10830 shares are currently held short.
However Harley-Davidson's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Harley-Davidson shares, or, against the total number of tradable Harley-Davidson shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Harley-Davidson's short interest could be expressed as 0.12% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Harley-Davidson shares in existence, roughly 120 shares are currently held short) or 0.1397% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Harley-Davidson shares, roughly 140 shares are currently held short).
A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against Harley-Davidson.

When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 24.32
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Harley-Davidson's overall score of 24.32 (as at 01/01/2019) is excellent – landing it in it in the 17th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Harley-Davidson is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 9.85/100
Harley-Davidson's environmental score of 9.85 puts it squarely in the 9th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Harley-Davidson is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 15.21/100
Harley-Davidson's social score of 15.21 puts it squarely in the 9th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Harley-Davidson is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

Dividend payout ratio: 31.21% of net profits
Recently Harley-Davidson has paid out, on average, around 31.21% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.22% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Harley-Davidson shareholders could enjoy a 0.22% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Harley-Davidson's case, that would currently equate to about $0.08 per share.
While Harley-Davidson's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Harley-Davidson may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Harley-Davidson's most recent dividend payout was on 18 December 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 3 December 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Harley-Davidson's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 10 April 2000. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Harley-Davidson shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Harley-Davidson shares which in turn could have impacted Harley-Davidson's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Harley-Davidson's shares have ranged in value from as little as $14.2801 up to $41.7989. 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 Harley-Davidson's is 1.6115. This would suggest that Harley-Davidson's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
