Valuing NovoCure stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of NovoCure's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
NovoCure's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 955x. In other words, NovoCure shares trade at around 955x 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.
NovoCure's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$26.3 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a NovoCure's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 5.9 million NovoCure shares held short by investors – that's known as NovoCure's "short interest". This figure is 17.8% up from 5.0 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting NovoCure shares can be evaluated.
NovoCure's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of NovoCure shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of NovoCure shares traded daily (recently around 1.5 million). NovoCure's SIR currently stands at 3.95. In other words for every 100,000 NovoCure shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3950 shares are currently held short.
However NovoCure's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of NovoCure shares, or, against the total number of tradable NovoCure shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case NovoCure's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 NovoCure shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.0608% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable NovoCure shares, roughly 61 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against NovoCure.

We're not expecting NovoCure to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Over the last 12 months, NovoCure's shares have ranged in value from as little as $53.4 up to $180.97. 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 NovoCure's is 1.2836. This would suggest that NovoCure's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
