P/E ratio, Dividend Yield, Intrinsic Value.
I personally look at a company and see their main sources of income.. For example, GoPro... Was the stock to have at their IPO, but their source of income was dependent off of one product that is shatter resistant... I also look for steady monthly cash flows (REIT's), consumables (Oil, Water, Food) and cutting edge (Alphabet"Google")

Innovative products, market penetration, overhead to production ratio.
Your GoPro example had the latter two, but they will be a victim of their own success unless they come up with something new.
In my opinion, the best bet for an owner of that stock is to hope that the company is purchased by another company, giving a fine premium on share price, Their earnings have almost certainly peaked.
