Valuing PetroChina Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of PetroChina Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
PetroChina Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 7x. In other words, PetroChina Company shares trade at around 7x 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.
PetroChina Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.5944. 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 PetroChina Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

There are currently 415,968 PetroChina Company shares held short by investors – that's known as PetroChina Company's "short interest". This figure is 14.2% up from 364,190 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting PetroChina Company shares can be evaluated.
PetroChina Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of PetroChina Company shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of PetroChina Company shares traded daily (recently around 123800). PetroChina Company's SIR currently stands at 3.36. In other words for every 100,000 PetroChina Company shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3360 shares are currently held short.
However PetroChina Company's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of PetroChina Company shares, or, against the total number of tradable PetroChina Company shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case PetroChina Company's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 PetroChina Company shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable PetroChina Company shares, roughly 0 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 PetroChina Company.

Dividend payout ratio: 148.02% of net profits
Recently PetroChina Company has paid out, on average, around 148.02% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 7.93% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), PetroChina Company shareholders could enjoy a 7.93% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In PetroChina Company's case, that would currently equate to about $2.53 per share.
PetroChina Company's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
PetroChina Company's most recent dividend payout was on 23 November 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 September 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, PetroChina Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $25.8959 up to $49.9878. 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 PetroChina Company's is 0.8342. This would suggest that PetroChina Company's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
