Valuing World Acceptance Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of World Acceptance Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
World Acceptance Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 34x. In other words, World Acceptance Corporation shares trade at around 34x 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.
World Acceptance Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 7.1. 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 World Acceptance Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

We're not expecting World Acceptance Corporation to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
World Acceptance Corporation's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 31 August 1995. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your World Acceptance Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for World Acceptance Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted World Acceptance Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, World Acceptance Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $58.44 up to $228.7. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
