Valuing Origin Agritech stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Origin Agritech's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Origin Agritech'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, Origin Agritech 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.

We're not expecting Origin Agritech to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Origin Agritech's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 9 July 2018. So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Origin Agritech shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Origin Agritech shares which in turn could have impacted Origin Agritech's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Origin Agritech's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.37 up to $6.38. 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 Origin Agritech's is 1.47. This would suggest that Origin Agritech's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
