Valuing Quanta Services stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Quanta Services's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Quanta Services's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 30x. In other words, Quanta Services shares trade at around 30x 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.
Quanta Services's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.75. 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 Quanta Services's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Quanta Services's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$1 billion (£0.0 million).

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 3.3 million Quanta Services shares held short by investors – that's known as Quanta Services's "short interest". This figure is 16.2% up from 2.9 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Quanta Services shares can be evaluated.
Quanta Services's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Quanta Services shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Quanta Services shares traded daily (recently around 1.3 million). Quanta Services's SIR currently stands at 2.52. In other words for every 100,000 Quanta Services shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2520 shares are currently held short.
However Quanta Services's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Quanta Services shares, or, against the total number of tradable Quanta Services shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Quanta Services's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Quanta Services shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0241% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Quanta Services shares, roughly 24 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 Quanta Services.

Dividend payout ratio: 5.32% of net profits
Recently Quanta Services has paid out, on average, around 5.32% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.22% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Quanta Services shareholders could enjoy a 0.22% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Quanta Services's case, that would currently equate to about $0.23 per share.
While Quanta Services's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Quanta Services is investing more in its future growth.

Quanta Services's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 9 April 2000. 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 Quanta Services shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Quanta Services shares which in turn could have impacted Quanta Services's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Quanta Services's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$58.7725 up to US$119.3582. 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 Quanta Services's is 1.1698. This would suggest that Quanta Services'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).
