Valuing Viavi Solutions stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Viavi Solutions's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Viavi Solutions's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 130x. In other words, Viavi Solutions shares trade at around 130x 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.
Viavi Solutions's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.41. 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 Viavi Solutions's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Viavi Solutions's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$206.7 million.

There are currently 10.5 million Viavi Solutions shares held short by investors – that's known as Viavi Solutions's "short interest". This figure is 1.2% up from 10.4 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Viavi Solutions shares can be evaluated.
Viavi Solutions's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Viavi Solutions shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Viavi Solutions shares traded daily (recently around 2.2 million). Viavi Solutions's SIR currently stands at 4.84. In other words for every 100,000 Viavi Solutions shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4840 shares are currently held short.
However Viavi Solutions's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Viavi Solutions shares, or, against the total number of tradable Viavi Solutions shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Viavi Solutions's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Viavi Solutions shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.0662% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Viavi Solutions shares, roughly 66 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 Viavi Solutions.
