# TripAdvisor Inc. (TRIP) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure. Price $9.32, market value $1.1 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). TripAdvisor Inc. reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **PEG: 0.01**. A PEG of 0.01 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.6×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.6×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.6×**. The shares trade at 1.6× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 9.1×**. Enterprise value is 9.1× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 13.1%** (5-yr avg 6.4%). Free cash flow equals 13.1% of the market value, above its five-year average of 6.4%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 2.7%**. 2.7% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 2.1%**. 2.1% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 6.2%**. 6.2% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 5.0%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 5.0%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 0.2%**. Each dollar of assets produces 0.2% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 3.1%** (3-yr 8.2%/yr, 5-yr 25.6%/yr). Revenue grew 3.1% over the last year, against 25.6% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 675.0%** (3-yr 30.3%/yr). Earnings per share rose 675.0%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -22.0%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -22.0% a year over three years, lagging earnings: check whether profits are turning into cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.82**. Debt is 1.82 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 1.0×**. It would take 1.0 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.49**. A Z-score of 1.49 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 7/9**. 7 of 9 fundamental checks pass: strong and improving financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. TripAdvisor Inc. does not currently pay a dividend.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): -48.1%** (YTD -36.0%, 3-mo -21.4%). The shares are down 48.1% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -53.7%** (3.5% above the low). Trading 54% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 30**. An RSI of 30 is oversold; bounces are common, but oversold can stay oversold in a real decline.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.48** (volatility 56%). Beta of 1.48 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
