Valuing Lyft stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Lyft's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Lyft's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 1x. In other words, Lyft shares trade at around 1x 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.

There are currently 24.8 million Lyft shares held short by investors – that's known as Lyft's "short interest". This figure is 10.4% up from 22.5 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Lyft shares can be evaluated.
Lyft's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Lyft shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Lyft shares traded daily (recently around 7.4 million). Lyft's SIR currently stands at 3.37. In other words for every 100,000 Lyft shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3370 shares are currently held short.
However Lyft's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Lyft shares, or, against the total number of tradable Lyft shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Lyft's short interest could be expressed as 0.08% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Lyft shares in existence, roughly 80 shares are currently held short) or 0.1173% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Lyft shares, roughly 117 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 Lyft.
