Risks – The price-to-earnings multiple, 32.90 is higher than the average industry level.
Thomas Weisel analyst Jake Fuller said Priceline demonstrates strong domestic performance with potential upside and expect it to gain market share in the last quarter due to fast-growing European markets. Furthermore more people were said to be spending their holidays elsewhere during the winter season. So I think Priceline should beat the estimate earning again this time. I’m a bit worry about its’ high P/E though.
