Priceline vs Expedia

In 1 on March 10, 2010 at 3:22 pm

Recapping some of the insights from this writer, let’s take a look at Expedia & Priceline, two travel-booking companies.



  1. Priceline. http://www.google.com/finance?q=priceline earned $3 billion in revenues  in 2009 with expected earnings to grow 17% in 2010. EBITDA is expected to reach nearly $950 million in 2010, up 12% YoY.
  2. Expedia earned $2.3 billion in fees with expected revenues to grow 19% this year with expanding margins.

Accordingly, if one were to value Expedia at EBITDA, then their shares are worth $45, 93% above the current share price. Taking into account that many internet companies trade at less than half that yield, Expedia is still worth 50% above the current share price.
