Valuing Vedanta stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Vedanta's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Vedanta's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 10x. In other words, Vedanta shares trade at around 10x 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.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 3.7 million Vedanta shares held short by investors – that's known as Vedanta's "short interest". This figure is 5.5% down from 3.9 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Vedanta shares can be evaluated.
Vedanta's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Vedanta shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Vedanta shares traded daily (recently around 785308.36909871). Vedanta's SIR currently stands at 4.66. In other words for every 100,000 Vedanta shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4660 shares are currently held short.
However Vedanta's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Vedanta shares, or, against the total number of tradable Vedanta shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Vedanta's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Vedanta shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Vedanta 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 Vedanta.

Dividend payout ratio: 109.13% of net profits
Recently Vedanta has paid out, on average, around 109.13% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.28% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Vedanta shareholders could enjoy a 6.28% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Vedanta's case, that would currently equate to about $0.249 per share.
Vedanta'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.
Vedanta's most recent dividend payout was on 17 November 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 October 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Vedanta's shares were split on a 599:1000 basis on 9 September 2013. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 599 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Vedanta shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.9% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Vedanta shares which in turn could have impacted Vedanta's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Vedanta's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.9407 up to $11.71. 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 Vedanta's is 1.8215. This would suggest that Vedanta's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
