Is Booking stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Booking stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Booking's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Booking's P/E ratio
Booking's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 33x. In other words, Booking shares trade at around 33x 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 stock or simply that they're over-valued.
Booking's PEG ratio
Booking's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.1352. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Booking's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Booking's EBITDA
Booking's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $7.2 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Booking's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Booking stock dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 19.64% of net profits
Recently Booking has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Booking shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Booking's case, that would currently equate to about $26.25 per share.
While Booking's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Booking is investing more in its future growth.
Booking's most recent dividend payout was on 30 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 5 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Booking's stocks ever split?
Booking's stocks were split on a 1:6 basis on 15 June 2003 . So if you had owned 6 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Booking stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 500% higher stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Booking stocks, which in turn could have impacted Booking's stock price.
Booking stock price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Booking's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $3167.3927 up to $5337.24. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."
Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Booking's is 1.385. This would suggest that Booking's stocks are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
