What are Wall Street analysts saying about Expedia Group stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Expedia Group stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Expedia Group’s first quarter revenues improved on a year-over-year basis that was driven by strong gross bookings in the quarter. HomeAway performed well which drove the gross bookings and stayed room nights numbers. Further, the company’s strength in Core OTA, Brand Expedia, Hotels.com, Expedia Partner Solutions and Egencia remained positive throughout the quarter. The expansion of global lodging portfolio by adding new properties also aided the lodging revenues of the company. Moreover, the company’s offering of discounts in its chain hotels also benefited the user base growth and it will continue to help in retention of customers to a great extent. Also, strengthening business in several geographic regions will continue to attract more customers to the platform. However, faster growth in costs compared to growth in revenues remains a concern. Notably, the stock has underperformed the industry it belongs to." (5/2/2018)
- 2. Benchmark Co. analysts commented, "We acknowledge that the stock still looks somewhat inexpensive on a full-company EV/EBITDA basis, but even with our revised numbers coming out ahead of consensus, until we see some real traction with Expedia’s growth initiatives, we’re not sure the risk/reward profile is overly compelling. RN growth of 15% came in just below consensus of 15.5% despite a 150bp tailwind from the Easter shift. However, stayed RN growth was up 16%, with HomeAway stayed RN growth of 36%. Expedia also added 50,000 new properties and 25,000 new HomeAway listings, with supply acquisition expected to accelerate into 2Q and 2H18. As a result, gross bookings beat the street by ~$550 million translating into $65 million of revenue upside. Perhaps more importantly, over half of that upside ($38 million) flowed through to EBITDA, with management calling out some benefits from efficient marketing spend, helping assuage some direct competition fears." (4/27/2018)
- 3. SunTrust Banks, Inc. analysts commented, "We maintain our BUY/$165 PT into earnings. While 1Q results are likely to come in line with muted expectations, we also expect to see progress towards growing the property count – a key investment area for the company (our analysis indicates 60-100K net adds, with strength in Europe). Healthy room night growth (17-18% by our ests.) in global OTA brands along with strong HomeAway bookings should help reassure investors about the business’ underlying fundamentals." (4/23/2018)
