Is it a good time to buy Rightmove stock?

Is Rightmove under- or over-valued?
Valuing Rightmove stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Rightmove's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Rightmove's P/E ratio
Rightmove's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 41x. In other words, Rightmove shares trade at around 41x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the FTSE 250 at the end of September 2019 (19.71). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Rightmove's PEG ratio
Rightmove's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2. 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 Rightmove's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Rightmove's EBITDA
Rightmove's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £169.2 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Rightmove's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Rightmove share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 2750% of net profits
Recently Rightmove has paid out, on average, around 2750% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.44% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Rightmove shareholders could enjoy a 1.44% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Rightmove's case, that would currently equate to about 0.07p per share.
Rightmove's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 April 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Rightmove's shares ever split?
Rightmove's shares were split on a 10:1 basis on 31 August 2018. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Rightmove shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 90% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Rightmove shares which in turn could have impacted Rightmove's share price.
Rightmove share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Rightmove's shares have ranged in value from as little as 369.8899p up to 704.4861p. 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 (LSE average) beta is 1, while Rightmove's is 0.6517. This would suggest that Rightmove's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
