Valuing Beyond Meat stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Beyond Meat's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Beyond Meat's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 600x. In other words, Beyond Meat shares trade at around 600x 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.
However, Beyond Meat's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the packaged foods industry or those of similar companies.
Beyond Meat's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.0582. 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 Beyond Meat's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Beyond Meat's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
Beyond Meat's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $699,000.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Beyond Meat's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

However Beyond Meat's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Beyond Meat shares, or, against the total number of tradable Beyond Meat shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Beyond Meat's short interest could be expressed as 0.22% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Beyond Meat shares in existence, roughly 220 shares are currently held short) or 0.2438% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Beyond Meat shares, roughly 244 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 Beyond Meat.
