Valuing Autodesk stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Autodesk's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Autodesk's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 47x. In other words, Autodesk shares trade at around 47x 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.
Autodesk's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.4772. 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 Autodesk's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Autodesk's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$761.5 million (£554 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Autodesk's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 2.2 million Autodesk shares held short by investors – that's known as Autodesk's "short interest". This figure is 1.6% down from 2.3 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Autodesk shares can be evaluated.
Autodesk's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Autodesk shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Autodesk shares traded daily (recently around 1.8 million). Autodesk's SIR currently stands at 1.21. In other words for every 100,000 Autodesk shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1210 shares are currently held short.
However Autodesk's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Autodesk shares, or, against the total number of tradable Autodesk shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Autodesk's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Autodesk shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0102% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Autodesk 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 Autodesk.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Autodesk is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 0.28/100

We're not expecting Autodesk to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Autodesk's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 20 December 2004. 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 Autodesk shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Autodesk shares which in turn could have impacted Autodesk's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Autodesk's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$233.32 up to US$344.39. 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 Autodesk's is 1.3444. This would suggest that Autodesk's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
