Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value.
NIKE's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 42x. In other words, NIKE shares trade at around 42x 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, NIKE's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the footwear & accessories industry or those of similar companies.
NIKE's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.1022. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into NIKE'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 NIKE's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
NIKE's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $8.3 billion (£6 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a NIKE's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 12.3 million NIKE shares held short by investors – that's known as the "short interest". This figure is 15.5% up from 10.7 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting NIKE shares can be evaluated.
NIKE's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of NIKE shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of NIKE shares traded daily (recently around 7.9 million). NIKE's SIR currently stands at 1.55. In other words for every 100,000 NIKE shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1550 shares are currently held short.
To gain some more context, you can compare NIKE's short interest ratio against those of similar companies.
However NIKE's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of NIKE shares, or, against the total number of tradable NIKE shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case NIKE's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 NIKE shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0098% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable NIKE shares, roughly 10 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 NIKE.

To gain some more context, you can compare NIKE's total ESG risk score against those of similar companies.
NIKE's environmental score: 5.55/100
NIKE's environmental score of 5.55 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that NIKE is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
NIKE's social score: 9.56/100
NIKE's social score of 9.56 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that NIKE is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

Dividend yield: 0.7% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 0.7% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 29.18% of net profits
NIKE has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 0.70% of its share value annually.
NIKE has paid out, on average, around 29.18% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.7% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 0.7% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In NIKE's case, that would currently equate to about $1.1 per share.
While NIKE's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
NIKE's most recent dividend payout was on 30 September 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 26 August 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
NIKE's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
NIKE's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 23 December 2015. 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 NIKE shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for NIKE shares which in turn could have impacted NIKE's share price.
Over the last 12 months, NIKE's shares have ranged in value from as little as $117.8881 up to $174.0927. 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 NIKE's is 0.9048. This would suggest that NIKE's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
To put NIKE's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
