Valuing NVIDIA stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of NVIDIA's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
NVIDIA's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 91x. In other words, NVIDIA shares trade at around 91x 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.
NVIDIA's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.3125. 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 NVIDIA's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
NVIDIA's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$5.1 billion (£3.6 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a NVIDIA's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 6.7 million NVIDIA shares held short by investors – that's known as NVIDIA's "short interest". This figure is 10.7% down from 7.5 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting NVIDIA shares can be evaluated.
NVIDIA's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of NVIDIA shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of NVIDIA shares traded daily (recently around 7.6 million). NVIDIA's SIR currently stands at 0.87. In other words for every 100,000 NVIDIA shares traded daily on the market, roughly 870 shares are currently held short.
However NVIDIA's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of NVIDIA shares, or, against the total number of tradable NVIDIA shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case NVIDIA's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 NVIDIA shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0112% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable NVIDIA shares, roughly 11 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 NVIDIA.

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 NVIDIA.
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: 18.45
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and NVIDIA's overall score of 18.45 (as at 01/01/2019) is excellent – landing it in it in the 12nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like NVIDIA 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: 8.83/100
NVIDIA's environmental score of 8.83 puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that NVIDIA is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 9.65/100
NVIDIA's social score of 9.65 puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that NVIDIA is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 11.46/100
NVIDIA's governance score puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that NVIDIA 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. NVIDIA scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that NVIDIA has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
NVIDIA Corporation was last rated for ESG on: 2019-01-01.

Dividend payout ratio: 7.29% of net profits
Recently NVIDIA has paid out, on average, around 7.29% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.11% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), NVIDIA shareholders could enjoy a 0.11% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In NVIDIA's case, that would currently equate to about $0.64 per share.
While NVIDIA's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that NVIDIA is investing more in its future growth.
NVIDIA's most recent dividend payout was on 29 December 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 3 December 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
NVIDIA's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 11 September 2007. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your NVIDIA shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for NVIDIA shares which in turn could have impacted NVIDIA's share price.
Over the last 12 months, NVIDIA's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$180.491 up to US$614.9. 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 NVIDIA's is 1.4157. This would suggest that NVIDIA's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
