Booking's shares were split on a 1:6 basis on 16 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 22x. In other words, Booking shares trade at around 22x 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.
Booking's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.6785. 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$6.8 billion (£5.4 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$1907.38 up to US$3251.71. 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 1.356. 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).
