Valuing National Vision stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of National Vision's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
National Vision's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 789x. In other words, National Vision shares trade at around 789x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

There are currently 7.7 million National Vision shares held short by investors – that's known as National Vision's "short interest". This figure is 1.2% down from 7.8 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting National Vision shares can be evaluated.
National Vision's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of National Vision shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of National Vision shares traded daily (recently around 608211.55977831). National Vision's SIR currently stands at 12.63. In other words for every 100,000 National Vision shares traded daily on the market, roughly 12630 shares are currently held short.
However National Vision's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of National Vision shares, or, against the total number of tradable National Vision shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case National Vision's short interest could be expressed as 0.09% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 National Vision shares in existence, roughly 90 shares are currently held short) or 0.0955% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable National Vision shares, roughly 96 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 National Vision.

We're not expecting National Vision to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Over the last 12 months, National Vision's shares have ranged in value from as little as $11.7 up to $50. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while National Vision's is 1.7738. This would suggest that National Vision's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
