Valuing Parsley Energy stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Parsley Energy's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Parsley Energy's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, Parsley Energy shares trade at around 11x 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.
Parsley Energy's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.6278. 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 Parsley Energy's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Parsley Energy's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$1.3 billion.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 28.8 million Parsley Energy shares held short by investors – that's known as Parsley Energy's "short interest". This figure is 0.8% down from 29.0 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Parsley Energy shares can be evaluated.
Parsley Energy's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Parsley Energy shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Parsley Energy shares traded daily (recently around 4.7 million). Parsley Energy's SIR currently stands at 6.19. In other words for every 100,000 Parsley Energy shares traded daily on the market, roughly 6190 shares are currently held short.
However Parsley Energy's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Parsley Energy shares, or, against the total number of tradable Parsley Energy shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Parsley Energy's short interest could be expressed as 0.07% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Parsley Energy shares in existence, roughly 70 shares are currently held short) or 0.0931% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Parsley Energy shares, roughly 93 shares are currently held short).
A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Parsley Energy.

Dividend payout ratio: 37.04% of net profits
Recently Parsley Energy has paid out, on average, around 37.04% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.22% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Parsley Energy shareholders could enjoy a 1.22% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Parsley Energy's case, that would currently equate to about $0.2 per share.
While Parsley Energy's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Parsley Energy may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Parsley Energy's most recent dividend payout was on 18 December 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 December 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Parsley Energy's shares were split on a 4:1 basis on 3 April 2014. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Parsley Energy shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 75% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Parsley Energy shares which in turn could have impacted Parsley Energy's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Parsley Energy's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.8718 up to $17.31. 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 Parsley Energy's is 2.2458. This would suggest that Parsley Energy's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
