Valuing Eli Lilly and Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Eli Lilly and Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Eli Lilly and Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 34x. In other words, Eli Lilly and Company shares trade at around 34x 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.
Eli Lilly and Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.3601. 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 Eli Lilly and Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

There are currently 5.2 million Eli Lilly and Company shares held short by investors – that's known as Eli Lilly and Company's "short interest". This figure is 6.4% down from 5.6 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Eli Lilly and Company shares can be evaluated.
Eli Lilly and Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Eli Lilly and Company shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Eli Lilly and Company shares traded daily (recently around 3.8 million). Eli Lilly and Company's SIR currently stands at 1.37. In other words for every 100,000 Eli Lilly and Company shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1370 shares are currently held short.
However Eli Lilly and Company's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Eli Lilly and Company shares, or, against the total number of tradable Eli Lilly and Company shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Eli Lilly and Company's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Eli Lilly and Company shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0066% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Eli Lilly and Company shares, roughly 7 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 Eli Lilly and Company.

Dividend payout ratio: 44.43% of net profits
Recently Eli Lilly and Company has paid out, on average, around 44.43% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.65% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Eli Lilly and Company shareholders could enjoy a 1.65% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Eli Lilly and Company's case, that would currently equate to about $3.4 per share.
While Eli Lilly and Company's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Eli Lilly and Company may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Eli Lilly and Company's most recent dividend payout was on 10 March 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 February 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Eli Lilly and Company's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 16 October 1997. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Eli Lilly and Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Eli Lilly and Company shares which in turn could have impacted Eli Lilly and Company's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Eli Lilly and Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $115.3609 up to $206.54. 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 Eli Lilly and Company's is 0.3734. This would suggest that Eli Lilly and Company's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
