Valuing Royal Caribbean Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Royal Caribbean Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Royal Caribbean 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 57x. In other words, Royal Caribbean Group shares trade at around 57x 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.
Royal Caribbean Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.3105. 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 Royal Caribbean 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.
Royal Caribbean Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$1.2 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Royal Caribbean Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 11.9 million Royal Caribbean Group shares held short by investors – that's known as Royal Caribbean Group's "short interest". This figure is 23.1% down from 15.5 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Royal Caribbean Group shares can be evaluated.
Royal Caribbean Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Royal Caribbean Group shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Royal Caribbean Group shares traded daily (recently around 4.9 million). Royal Caribbean Group's SIR currently stands at 2.42. In other words for every 100,000 Royal Caribbean Group shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2420 shares are currently held short.
However Royal Caribbean Group's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Royal Caribbean Group shares, or, against the total number of tradable Royal Caribbean Group shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Royal Caribbean Group's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Royal Caribbean Group shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.06% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Royal Caribbean Group shares, roughly 60 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Royal Caribbean Group.
