Valuing Herc stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Herc's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Herc's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 27x. In other words, Herc shares trade at around 27x recent earnings.
That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29).
Herc's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.6186. 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 Herc's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Herc's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$281.6 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Herc's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 534,362 Herc shares held short by investors – that's known as Herc's "short interest". This figure is 10.5% up from 483,689 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Herc shares can be evaluated.
Herc's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Herc shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Herc shares traded daily (recently around 172374.83870968). Herc's SIR currently stands at 3.1. In other words for every 100,000 Herc shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3100 shares are currently held short.
However Herc's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Herc shares, or, against the total number of tradable Herc shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Herc's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Herc shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0274% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Herc shares, roughly 27 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 Herc.

We're not expecting Herc to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Herc's shares were split on a 1:3 basis on 1 July 2016. So if you had owned 3 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 Herc shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 200% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Herc shares which in turn could have impacted Herc's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Herc's shares have ranged in value from as little as $11.8106 up to $67.13. 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 Herc's is 3.0965. This would suggest that Herc's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
