Booking's shares were split on a 1:6 basis on 15 June 2003. So if you had owned 6 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Booking shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 500% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Booking shares which in turn could have impacted Booking's share price.

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 current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 31x. In other words, Booking shares trade at around 31x 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.
Booking's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.045. 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 Booking's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Booking's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$6.4 billion (£5.1 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Booking's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Over the last 12 months, Booking's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$2450.6587 up to US$3907.9993. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Booking's is 1.403. This would suggest that Booking's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Dividend payout ratio: 5.7% of net profits
Recently Booking has paid out, on average, around 5.7% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.96% 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 0.96% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Booking's case, that would currently equate to about $0 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 27 March 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 March 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
