Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Expedia stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Expedia Inc., is one of the leading online travel companies in the world. The company's second-quarter 2017 results beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate on both earnings and revenues. Year-to-date, the stock has underperformed the Zacks characterized Electronic Commerce industry. The company's agency business looks good, which is no doubt benefiting from the ETP initiative. However, we think that the increased investments in the business, increasing competition across geographies and discounts offered by larger chain hotels can make margin expansion difficult."

• 2. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "We are adjusting our Expedia model to incorporate reduced trivago forecasts and our PT remains $160. Key Points Trivago reduces full year guidance: Trivago reduced its revenue growth guidance for FY:17 to 40% y/y, from 50% y/y previously, implying 2H:17 revenue ~18% lower than previously expected. Adj. EBITDA is now expected to be lower y/y but remain positive, versus guidance previously calling for a slightly improved EBITDA margin. Trivago attributed revenue growth headwinds primarily to a greater-than-anticipated pricing impact from the unwinding of its relevance assessment program, which launched at the end of 2016. The relevance assessment program required advertisers with lower relevance scores to place higher bids in the auction system to drive equivalent volume to their sites." (9/7/2017)
• 3. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "HomeAway positioned for strong growth. We expect bookings growth to remain strong as this business makes progress in its transition to an online transaction-based model, driven by online bookings vs. subscription. In its pursuit of this, we believe that HomeAway is spending increasing ad dollars on variable ad channels. Search query interest through May rose 1,700bps Q/ Q in the US and ~100bps WW. Total unique visitors to HomeAway’s US site increased 11% in April vs. 9% in 1Q17 (comScore). Trivago’s momentum likely to continue. The growth drivers here include strength in both volume and pricing, with the former driven by Trivago’s focus on heavy branded advertising coupled with spending on variable ad channels. Changes to landing page requirements in 4Q16 are likely to continue to drive strong unit pricing short term and yield improved consumer experience LT, in our view." (5/31/2017)
