Is it worth buying Uber stock?
Valuing Uber stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Uber's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Uber's P/E ratio
Uber's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, Uber shares trade at around 11x 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.
Uber's PEG ratio
Uber's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 5.1577. 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 Uber's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Uber's EBITDA
Uber's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$5.3 billion (£4 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Uber's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Uber share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Uber's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$59.33 up to US$101.99. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Uber's is 1.183. This would suggest that Uber'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).
