Valuing AbbVie stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of AbbVie's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
AbbVie's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 29x. In other words, AbbVie stocks trade at around 29x 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 stocks or simply that they're over-valued.
AbbVie's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.2788. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into AbbVie's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.
AbbVie's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$27.7 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a AbbVie's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 13.5 million AbbVie stocks held short by investors – that's known as AbbVie's "short interest". This figure is 6.2% down from 14.5 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting AbbVie stocks can be evaluated.
AbbVie's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of AbbVie stocks currently shorted divided by the average quantity of AbbVie stocks traded daily (recently around 5.4 million). AbbVie's SIR currently stands at 2.49. In other words for every 100,000 AbbVie stocks traded daily on the market, roughly 2490 stocks are currently held short.
However AbbVie's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of AbbVie stocks, or, against the total number of tradable AbbVie stocks (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case AbbVie's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding stocks (for every 100,000 AbbVie stocks in existence, roughly 10 stocks are currently held short) or 0.0078% of the tradable stocks (for every 100,000 tradable AbbVie stocks, roughly 8 stocks are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the stock price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against AbbVie.

Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like AbbVie.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 34.86
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and AbbVie's overall score of 34.86 (as at 01/01/2019) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 66th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like AbbVie is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 4.96/100
AbbVie's environmental score of 4.96 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that AbbVie is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 22.65/100
AbbVie's social score of 22.65 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that AbbVie is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 16.25/100
AbbVie's governance score puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that AbbVie is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Controversy score: 3/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. AbbVie scored a 3 out of 5 for controversy – a middle-of-the-table result reflecting that AbbVie hasn't always managed to keep its nose clean.
AbbVie Inc was last rated for ESG on: 2019-01-01.

Dividend payout ratio: 44.03% of net profits
Recently AbbVie has paid out, on average, around 44.03% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.81% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), AbbVie shareholders could enjoy a 4.81% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In AbbVie's case, that would currently equate to about $5.08 per share.
While AbbVie's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that AbbVie may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
AbbVie's most recent dividend payout was on 15 November 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 14 October 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, AbbVie's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $77.4908 up to $121.53. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while AbbVie's is 0.7909. This would suggest that AbbVie's stocks are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
