Valuing Spirit Airlines stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Spirit Airlines's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Spirit Airlines's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 230x. In other words, Spirit Airlines shares trade at around 230x 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.
Spirit Airlines's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 20.44. 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 Spirit Airlines's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Spirit Airlines's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$48.4 million.

There are currently 15.9 million Spirit Airlines shares held short by investors – that's known as Spirit Airlines's "short interest". This figure is 6.8% up from 14.9 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Spirit Airlines shares can be evaluated.
Spirit Airlines's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Spirit Airlines shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Spirit Airlines shares traded daily (recently around 7.3 million). Spirit Airlines's SIR currently stands at 2.17. In other words for every 100,000 Spirit Airlines shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2170 shares are currently held short.
However Spirit Airlines's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Spirit Airlines shares, or, against the total number of tradable Spirit Airlines shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Spirit Airlines's short interest could be expressed as 0.16% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Spirit Airlines shares in existence, roughly 160 shares are currently held short) or 0.1822% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Spirit Airlines shares, roughly 182 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 Spirit Airlines.
