Valuing Applied Opt stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Applied Opt's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Applied Opt's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.51. 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 Applied Opt'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 Applied Opt to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Over the last 12 months, Applied Opt's shares have ranged in value from as little as $6.7 up to $44.5. 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 Applied Opt's is 1.961. This would suggest that Applied Opt's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
