Is Expedia Group under- or over-valued?

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

Expedia Group's P/E ratio

Expedia Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 15x. In other words, Expedia Group shares trade at around 15x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Expedia Group's PEG ratio

Expedia Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 38.75. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Expedia Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Expedia Group's EBITDA

Expedia Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$58 million.

The EBITDA is a measure of a Expedia Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Shorting Expedia Group shares

There are currently 15.0 million Expedia Group shares held short by investors – that's known as Expedia Group's "short interest". This figure is 4.2% down from 15.7 million last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Expedia Group shares can be evaluated.

Expedia Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Expedia Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Expedia Group shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Expedia Group shares traded daily (recently around 3.0 million). Expedia Group's SIR currently stands at 5.07. In other words for every 100,000 Expedia Group shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5070 shares are currently held short.

However Expedia Group's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Expedia Group shares, or, against the total number of tradable Expedia Group shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Expedia Group's short interest could be expressed as 0.09% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Expedia Group shares in existence, roughly 90 shares are currently held short) or 0.1091% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Expedia Group shares, roughly 109 shares are currently held short).

A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Expedia Group.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Expedia Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 100% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Expedia Group shares which in turn could have impacted Expedia Group's share price.

Expedia Group share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Expedia Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $40.76 up to $147.55. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Expedia Group's is 1.7516. This would suggest that Expedia Group's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
