Valuing TrueCar stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of TrueCar's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
TrueCar's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 14.22. 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 TrueCar'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 7.3 million TrueCar shares held short by investors – that's known as TrueCar's "short interest". This figure is 3.4% down from 7.5 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting TrueCar shares can be evaluated.
TrueCar's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of TrueCar shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of TrueCar shares traded daily (recently around 907676.65418227). TrueCar's SIR currently stands at 8.01. In other words for every 100,000 TrueCar shares traded daily on the market, roughly 8010 shares are currently held short.
However TrueCar's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of TrueCar shares, or, against the total number of tradable TrueCar shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case TrueCar's short interest could be expressed as 0.07% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 TrueCar shares in existence, roughly 70 shares are currently held short) or 0.0834% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable TrueCar shares, roughly 83 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 TrueCar.

We're not expecting TrueCar to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Over the last 12 months, TrueCar's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.98 up to $6.47. 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 TrueCar's is 1.4953. This would suggest that TrueCar's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
