Yeah, valuation is nothing. But there are numbers like cash flow, cash reserve, company book value, and even relations like earnings to cost, earnings to book value which can give a good inside about how strong your company is. These numbers are much smaller than valuation, but they give a more reliable picture. Don't evaluate like an investor, but like a (long term) stock trader would. PS: Sorry if the terms are wrong. There are actual terms for these numbers, but I never learned them in English. Hope from the descriptions you can make out which numbers I mean.
