Valuing Nikola stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Nikola's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Nikola's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 1073x. In other words, Nikola shares trade at around 1073x 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.

There are currently 54.4 million Nikola shares held short by investors – that's known as Nikola's "short interest". This figure is 8.8% up from 50.0 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Nikola shares can be evaluated.
Nikola's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Nikola shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Nikola shares traded daily (recently around 23.7 million). Nikola's SIR currently stands at 2.3. In other words for every 100,000 Nikola shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2300 shares are currently held short.
However Nikola's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Nikola shares. In this case Nikola's short interest could be expressed as 0.14% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Nikola shares in existence, roughly 140 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 Nikola.
