Booking Holdings Inc.’s (NASDAQ:BKNG) price-to-earnings (or “P/E”) ratio of 31.7x might make it look like a strong sell right now compared to the market in the United States, where around half of the companies have P/E ratios below 19x and even P/E’s below 11x are quite common. Although, it’s not wise to just take the P/E at face value as there may be an explanation why it’s so lofty.
Recent earnings growth for Booking Holdings has been in line with the market. One possibility is that the P/E is high because investors think this modest earnings performance will accelerate. You’d really hope so, otherwise you’re paying a pretty hefty price for no particular reason.
