Valuing Wheels Up stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Wheels Up's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Wheels Up's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 0x. In other words, Wheels Up shares trade at around 0x 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.
However, Wheels Up's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the airports & air services industry or those of similar companies.

You may also wish to consider:
Wheels Up's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 7 June 2023 . 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 Wheels Up shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Wheels Up shares which in turn could have impacted Wheels Up's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Wheels Up's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.9531 up to $4.59. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Wheels Up's is 2.23. This would suggest that Wheels Up's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
To put Wheels Up's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
