Valuing Herbalife stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Herbalife's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Herbalife's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 10x. In other words, Herbalife shares trade at around 10x 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.
Herbalife's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$904.3 million (£661 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Herbalife's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

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 Herbalife.
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: 34.41
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Herbalife's overall score of 34.41 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 64th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Herbalife 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: 14/100
Herbalife's environmental score of 14 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Herbalife is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 10.25/100
Herbalife's social score of 10.25 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Herbalife is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 8.66/100
Herbalife's governance score puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Herbalife 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. Herbalife scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Herbalife has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.

We're not expecting Herbalife to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Herbalife's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 14 May 2018. 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 Herbalife shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Herbalife shares which in turn could have impacted Herbalife's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Herbalife's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$36.52 up to US$59. 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 Herbalife's is 1.0892. This would suggest that Herbalife's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
