Valuing Tesla stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Tesla's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Tesla's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 358x. In other words, Tesla shares trade at around 358x 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.
Tesla's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.2309. 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 Tesla's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Tesla's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$5.8 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Tesla's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
There are currently 32.4 million Tesla shares held short by investors – that's known as Tesla's "short interest". This figure is 5.1% down from 34.1 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Tesla shares can be evaluated.
Tesla's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Tesla shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Tesla shares traded daily (recently around 23.4 million). Tesla's SIR currently stands at 1.38. In other words for every 100,000 Tesla shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1380 shares are currently held short.
However Tesla's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Tesla shares, or, against the total number of tradable Tesla shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Tesla's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Tesla shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0414% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Tesla shares, roughly 41 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 Tesla.
