Valuing Activision Blizzard stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Activision Blizzard's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Activision Blizzard'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, Activision Blizzard 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.
Activision Blizzard's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.9825. 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 Activision Blizzard's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Activision Blizzard's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$3 billion (£2.2 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Activision Blizzard's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 8.1 million Activision Blizzard shares held short by investors – that's known as Activision Blizzard's "short interest". This figure is 7.8% down from 8.8 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Activision Blizzard shares can be evaluated.
Activision Blizzard's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Activision Blizzard shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Activision Blizzard shares traded daily (recently around 5.8 million). Activision Blizzard's SIR currently stands at 1.4. In other words for every 100,000 Activision Blizzard shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1400 shares are currently held short.
However Activision Blizzard's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Activision Blizzard shares, or, against the total number of tradable Activision Blizzard shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Activision Blizzard's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Activision Blizzard shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0107% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Activision Blizzard shares, roughly 11 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 Activision Blizzard.

Dividend payout ratio: 11.78% of net profits
Recently Activision Blizzard has paid out, on average, around 11.78% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.49% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Activision Blizzard shareholders could enjoy a 0.49% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Activision Blizzard's case, that would currently equate to about $0.47 per share.
While Activision Blizzard's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Activision Blizzard is investing more in its future growth.
Activision Blizzard's most recent dividend payout was on 6 May 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 April 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Activision Blizzard's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 8 September 2008. 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 Activision Blizzard shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Activision Blizzard shares which in turn could have impacted Activision Blizzard's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Activision Blizzard's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$50.18 up to US$104.53. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Activision Blizzard's is 0.6574. This would suggest that Activision Blizzard's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
