Valuing Vir Biotechnology stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Vir Biotechnology's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Vir Biotechnology's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 3x. In other words, Vir Biotechnology shares trade at around 3x 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.
Vir Biotechnology's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.6 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Vir Biotechnology's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

We're not expecting Vir Biotechnology to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Over the last 12 months, Vir Biotechnology's shares have ranged in value from as little as $18.21 up to $58. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Vir Biotechnology's is -0.5804. This would suggest that Vir Biotechnology's shares have been inversely-correlated to the average (for this exchange) – so when the broader market trended up or down, Vir Biotechnology has bucked the trend.
