Valuing MicroStrategy Incorporated stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of MicroStrategy Incorporated's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
MicroStrategy Incorporated's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 3118x. In other words, MicroStrategy Incorporated shares trade at around 3118x 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.
MicroStrategy Incorporated's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.09. 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 MicroStrategy Incorporated's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

There are currently 1.5 million MicroStrategy Incorporated shares held short by investors – that's known as MicroStrategy Incorporated's "short interest". This figure is 4.8% up from 1.4 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting MicroStrategy Incorporated shares can be evaluated.
MicroStrategy Incorporated's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of MicroStrategy Incorporated shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of MicroStrategy Incorporated shares traded daily (recently around 1.2 million). MicroStrategy Incorporated's SIR currently stands at 1.29. In other words for every 100,000 MicroStrategy Incorporated shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1290 shares are currently held short.
However MicroStrategy Incorporated's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of MicroStrategy Incorporated shares, or, against the total number of tradable MicroStrategy Incorporated shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case MicroStrategy Incorporated's short interest could be expressed as 0.16% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 MicroStrategy Incorporated shares in existence, roughly 160 shares are currently held short) or 0.2795% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable MicroStrategy Incorporated shares, roughly 280 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 MicroStrategy Incorporated.

We're not expecting MicroStrategy Incorporated to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
MicroStrategy Incorporated's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 31 July 2002. So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your MicroStrategy Incorporated shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for MicroStrategy Incorporated shares which in turn could have impacted MicroStrategy Incorporated's share price.
Over the last 12 months, MicroStrategy Incorporated's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$90 up to US$1199. 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 MicroStrategy Incorporated's is 1.476. This would suggest that MicroStrategy Incorporated's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
