Valuing VAALCO Energy stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of VAALCO Energy's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
VAALCO 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 17x. In other words, VAALCO Energy shares trade at around 17x 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.
VAALCO Energy's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.62. 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 VAALCO 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.

There are currently 205,336 VAALCO Energy shares held short by investors – that's known as VAALCO Energy's "short interest". This figure is 156.2% up from 80,149 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting VAALCO Energy shares can be evaluated.
VAALCO Energy's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of VAALCO Energy shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of VAALCO Energy shares traded daily (recently around 1.4 million). VAALCO Energy's SIR currently stands at 0.15. In other words for every 100,000 VAALCO Energy shares traded daily on the market, roughly 150 shares are currently held short.
However VAALCO Energy's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of VAALCO Energy shares, or, against the total number of tradable VAALCO Energy shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case VAALCO Energy's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 VAALCO Energy shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0036% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable VAALCO Energy shares, roughly 4 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 VAALCO Energy.
