Valuing RPC stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of RPC's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
RPC's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 15x. In other words, RPC shares trade at around 15x 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.
RPC's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$1.7 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a RPC's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 9.6 million RPC shares held short by investors – that's known as RPC's "short interest". This figure is 6.5% down from 10.3 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting RPC shares can be evaluated.
RPC's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of RPC shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of RPC shares traded daily (recently around 924979.88450433). RPC's SIR currently stands at 10.39. In other words for every 100,000 RPC shares traded daily on the market, roughly 10390 shares are currently held short.
However RPC's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of RPC shares, or, against the total number of tradable RPC shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case RPC's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 RPC shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.1676% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable RPC shares, roughly 168 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 RPC.

We're not expecting RPC to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
RPC's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 12 March 2012. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your RPC shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for RPC shares which in turn could have impacted RPC's share price.
Over the last 12 months, RPC's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.7201 up to $5.54. 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 RPC's is 2.1638. This would suggest that RPC's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
