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 first-quarter 2017 loss was narrower-than-expected and revenues beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. 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, discounts offered by larger chain hotels and lack of ADR growth in emerging markets can make margin expansion difficult."

• 2. 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)
• 3. Benchmark Co. analysts commented, "We still think Expedia has headroom to improve attach and conversion rates, particularly with Orbitz’ air exposure, but expected improvements may not be meaningful until after Expedia has fully migrated the Orbitz tech stack to the cloud, allowing for further optimization. Trivago posted strong results, up 62.5% y/y and $37 million ahead of consensus, but that was partially offset by a $13 million shortfall at HomeAway, which still posted 30% y/y standalone growth. While we now project Trivago revenue growth could remain north of 50%, we expect growth at HomeAway will moderate to 19.5% in 2017 before potentially reaccelerating as investment spend is monetized in 2018."
