Valuing Nektar Therapeutics stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Nektar Therapeutics's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Nektar Therapeutics's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.22. 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 Nektar Therapeutics's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

We're not expecting Nektar Therapeutics to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Nektar Therapeutics's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 22 August 2000 . 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 Nektar Therapeutics shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Nektar Therapeutics shares which in turn could have impacted Nektar Therapeutics's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Nektar Therapeutics's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.432 up to $1.928. 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 Nektar Therapeutics's is 0.693. This would suggest that Nektar Therapeutics's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
