Is Valaris stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Valaris stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Valaris's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Over the last 12 months, Valaris's shares have ranged in value from as little as $39.9 up to $84.2. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
