Key Points

  • MarketBeat's screener highlights Booking (BKNG), Expedia (EXPE), Travelers (TRV), TripAdvisor (TRIP), and MakeMyTrip (MMYT) as the five travel stocks to watch today, selected because they posted the highest dollar trading volume among travel names in recent days.
  • Travel stocks are inherently cyclical and sensitive to consumer confidence, economic growth, seasonality, fuel and labor costs, and travel-related disruptions, so they can react sharply to macroeconomic or sector-specific news.
  • The note calls out that Expedia has turned volatile after a recent rally; Booking and Expedia are the dominant online travel agencies, while Travelers is an insurer, TripAdvisor is a travel guidance/review platform, and MakeMyTrip focuses on the India and regional markets.
  • MarketBeat previews top five stocks to own in May.

Booking, Expedia Group, Travelers Companies, TripAdvisor, and MakeMyTrip are the five Travel stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Travel stocks are shares of companies whose primary businesses support leisure and business travel—for example airlines, hotels and resorts, cruise lines, car rental companies, online travel agencies, and airport services. Investors view them as cyclical picks that are sensitive to consumer confidence, economic growth, seasonality, fuel and labor costs, and travel-related regulations or disruptions. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Travel stocks within the last several days.
