Valuing Laredo Petroleum stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Laredo Petroleum's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Laredo Petroleum's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 1x. In other words, Laredo Petroleum shares trade at around 1x 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.
Laredo Petroleum's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.0418. 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 Laredo Petroleum's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Laredo Petroleum's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.2 billion.

We're not expecting Laredo Petroleum to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Laredo Petroleum's shares were split on a 1:20 basis on 1 June 2020. So if you had owned 20 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 Laredo Petroleum shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Laredo Petroleum shares which in turn could have impacted Laredo Petroleum's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Laredo Petroleum's shares have ranged in value from as little as $45.7 up to $120.86. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
