Valuing Sanofi stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Sanofi's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Sanofi's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 25x. In other words, Sanofi shares trade at around 25x 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.
Sanofi's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.0129. 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 Sanofi's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 3.2 million Sanofi shares held short by investors – that's known as Sanofi's "short interest". This figure is 9.9% down from 3.6 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Sanofi shares can be evaluated.
Sanofi's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Sanofi shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Sanofi shares traded daily (recently around 1.6 million). Sanofi's SIR currently stands at 2.04. In other words for every 100,000 Sanofi shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2040 shares are currently held short.
However Sanofi's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Sanofi shares, or, against the total number of tradable Sanofi shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Sanofi's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Sanofi shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Sanofi 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 Sanofi.

Dividend payout ratio: 49.28% of net profits
Recently Sanofi has paid out, on average, around 49.28% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.54% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Sanofi shareholders could enjoy a 3.54% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Sanofi's case, that would currently equate to about $1.7 per share.
While Sanofi's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Sanofi may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Sanofi's most recent dividend payout was on 26 May 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 April 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Sanofi's shares were split on a 5:1 basis on 30 September 2013. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Sanofi shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 80% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Sanofi shares which in turn could have impacted Sanofi's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Sanofi's shares have ranged in value from as little as $36.3152 up to $55. 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 Sanofi's is 0.3606. This would suggest that Sanofi's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
