Valuing MEDNAX stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of MEDNAX's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
MEDNAX's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, MEDNAX shares trade at around 9x 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.
MEDNAX's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.88. 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 MEDNAX's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
MEDNAX's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$200.4 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a MEDNAX's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 11.9 million MEDNAX shares held short by investors – that's known as MEDNAX's "short interest". This figure is 3.6% down from 12.3 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting MEDNAX shares can be evaluated.
MEDNAX's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of MEDNAX shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of MEDNAX shares traded daily (recently around 1.0 million). MEDNAX's SIR currently stands at 11.55. In other words for every 100,000 MEDNAX shares traded daily on the market, roughly 11550 shares are currently held short.
However MEDNAX's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of MEDNAX shares, or, against the total number of tradable MEDNAX shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case MEDNAX's short interest could be expressed as 0.14% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 MEDNAX shares in existence, roughly 140 shares are currently held short) or 0.1632% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable MEDNAX shares, roughly 163 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 MEDNAX.

We're not expecting MEDNAX to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
MEDNAX's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 20 December 2013. 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 MEDNAX shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for MEDNAX shares which in turn could have impacted MEDNAX's share price.
Over the last 12 months, MEDNAX's shares have ranged in value from as little as $7.37 up to $28.92. 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 MEDNAX's is 2.1163. This would suggest that MEDNAX's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
