Valuing Howard Bancorp stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Howard Bancorp's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Howard Bancorp's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, Howard Bancorp shares trade at around 11x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

There are currently 173,518 Howard Bancorp shares held short by investors – that's known as Howard Bancorp's "short interest". This figure is 0.9% up from 172,050 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Howard Bancorp shares can be evaluated.
Howard Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Howard Bancorp shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Howard Bancorp shares traded daily (recently around 16978.277886497). Howard Bancorp's SIR currently stands at 10.22. In other words for every 100,000 Howard Bancorp shares traded daily on the market, roughly 10220 shares are currently held short.
However Howard Bancorp's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Howard Bancorp shares, or, against the total number of tradable Howard Bancorp shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Howard Bancorp's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Howard Bancorp shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0161% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Howard Bancorp shares, roughly 16 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 Howard Bancorp.
