Valuing Carvana stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Carvana's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Carvana's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 129x. In other words, Carvana shares trade at around 129x 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.
Carvana's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.3 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Carvana's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

We're not expecting Carvana to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Over the last 12 months, Carvana's shares have ranged in value from as little as $67.61 up to $292.84. 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 Carvana's is 3.571. This would suggest that Carvana's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
