Valuing Liberty Global stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Liberty Global's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Liberty Global'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, Liberty Global 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.
Liberty Global's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.61. 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 Liberty Global's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

We're not expecting Liberty Global to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Liberty Global's shares were split on a 1957:1000 basis on 3 March 2014. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1957 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Liberty Global shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 48.9% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Liberty Global shares which in turn could have impacted Liberty Global's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Liberty Global's shares have ranged in value from as little as $20.87 up to $30.58. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
