Valuing The Goldman Sachs Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of The Goldman Sachs Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
The Goldman Sachs Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 7x. In other words, The Goldman Sachs Group shares trade at around 7x 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.
The Goldman Sachs Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.8895. 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 The Goldman Sachs Group'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 The Goldman Sachs Group's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of The Goldman Sachs Group shares, or, against the total number of tradable The Goldman Sachs Group shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case The Goldman Sachs Group's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 The Goldman Sachs Group shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0139% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable The Goldman Sachs Group shares, roughly 14 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 The Goldman Sachs Group.
