Valuing Airbnb stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Airbnb's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Airbnb's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 49x. In other words, Airbnb shares trade at around 49x 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.
However, Airbnb's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the travel services industry or those of similar companies.
Airbnb's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 19.8727. 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 Airbnb's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Airbnb's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
Airbnb's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$1.7 billion (£1.3 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Airbnb's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
To put Airbnb's EBITDA into context you can compare it against that of similar companies.
Over the last 12 months, Airbnb's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$110.38 up to US$170.1. 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 Airbnb's is 1.156. This would suggest that Airbnb's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
To put Airbnb's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
