Valuing Dell stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Dell's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Dell's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 22x. In other words, Dell shares trade at around 22x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Dell's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.3111. 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 Dell's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Dell's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$10.4 billion (£7.6 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Dell's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 7.4 million Dell shares held short by investors – that's known as Dell's "short interest". This figure is 7.1% down from 7.9 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Dell shares can be evaluated.
Dell's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Dell shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Dell shares traded daily (recently around 1.6 million). Dell's SIR currently stands at 4.61. In other words for every 100,000 Dell shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4610 shares are currently held short.
However Dell's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Dell shares, or, against the total number of tradable Dell shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Dell's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Dell shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.026% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Dell shares, roughly 26 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 Dell.

Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Dell.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 20.01
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Dell's overall score of 20.01 (as at 12/31/2018) is excellent – landing it in it in the 13rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Dell 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: 4.6/100
Dell's environmental score of 4.6 puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Dell is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 9.27/100
Dell's social score of 9.27 puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Dell is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 11.13/100
Dell's governance score puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Dell is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Dell scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Dell has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
Dell Technologies Inc was last rated for ESG on: 2019-01-01.

We're not expecting Dell to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Dell's shares were split on a 1806:1000 basis on 27 December 2018. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1806 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Dell shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 44.6% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Dell shares which in turn could have impacted Dell's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Dell's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$58.88 up to US$105.23. 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 Dell's is 0.9513. This would suggest that Dell's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
