Valuing Harmonic stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Harmonic's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Harmonic'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, Harmonic 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.
Harmonic's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $18.5 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Harmonic's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

TTM: trailing 12 months
We're not expecting Harmonic to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Harmonic's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 14 October 1999. 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 Harmonic shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Harmonic shares which in turn could have impacted Harmonic's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Harmonic's shares have ranged in value from as little as $9.1 up to $15.31. 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 Harmonic's is 0.869. This would suggest that Harmonic's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
