Valuing La Jolla Pharmaceutical stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of La Jolla Pharmaceutical's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
La Jolla Pharmaceutical's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 48x. In other words, La Jolla Pharmaceutical shares trade at around 48x 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.

We're not expecting La Jolla Pharmaceutical to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
La Jolla Pharmaceutical's shares were split on a 1:50 basis on 13 January 2014. So if you had owned 50 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 La Jolla Pharmaceutical shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for La Jolla Pharmaceutical shares which in turn could have impacted La Jolla Pharmaceutical's share price.
Over the last 12 months, La Jolla Pharmaceutical's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0 up to $0. 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 La Jolla Pharmaceutical's is 2.4079. This would suggest that La Jolla Pharmaceutical's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
