MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Why the Treasury still prices gold at 42 dollars an ounce (Ad)

The U.S. Treasury still values its gold reserves at 42.22 dollars an ounce, a price set in 1973. Gold trades near 4,500 dollars today, a 113-to-1 gap between book value and market reality. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said he wants to monetize the asset side of the balance sheet. A revaluation could add more than 1 trillion dollars to the government's books overnight. Certain gold miners still trade as if gold were under 2,000 dollars, even as prices near record highs.tc pixel

Expedia Group
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Expedia Group, Inc.:

  • Expedia Group, Inc. recently reported second-quarter 2026 earnings that exceeded the high end of guidance, with revenue of $4.32 billion beating the consensus estimate of $4.17 billion and earnings per share of $5.76 topping the expected $5.22, demonstrating strong operational momentum and the ability to outperform market expectations.
  • The company is currently trading at $308.06, which is below the average analyst price target of $318.71 and significantly lower than the $430.00 target set by Evercore, suggesting that the stock may be undervalued relative to its recent strong performance and future growth potential.
  • Expedia Group, Inc. is accelerating growth in its vacation rental segment by launching its largest-ever product update for Vrbo and Escapia, including 12 new partner products and functionalities, which positions the company to capture a larger share of the high-growth alternative accommodation market.
  • Institutional investors are showing renewed confidence in the stock, with Wellington Management Group LLP increasing its position by 67.7% in the second quarter and other major funds like AQR Capital Management and Invesco also boosting their holdings, indicating strong professional interest in the company's outlook.
  • The company maintains a strong financial position with a return on equity of 87.32% and a net margin of 12.97% in the most recent quarter, reflecting efficient capital management and robust profitability that supports long-term shareholder value.

Expedia Group
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Expedia Group, Inc. for these reasons:

  • Insider selling activity has been consistent, with insiders selling a total of 16,652 shares worth approximately $4.98 million over the last ninety days, including recent sales by the Chief Accounting Officer and other executives, which may signal a lack of confidence in the current stock price or a desire to lock in gains.
  • The consensus rating from sell-side analysts remains "Hold" with an average target price of $318.71, which offers only a modest upside from the current price of $308.06, suggesting that the stock may be fairly valued and lacking the significant catalysts needed for a major re-rating.
  • Expedia Group, Inc. faces increasing competition from tech giants like Uber, which is expanding its travel services to compete directly with Airbnb and Booking.com, potentially pressuring the company's market share and pricing power in the online travel sector.
  • The company has a debt-to-equity ratio of 2.21, which is relatively high and could limit its financial flexibility to invest in new technologies or acquire competitors, especially if interest rates remain elevated or economic conditions deteriorate.
  • Short interest in the stock remains notable, with 5.56 million shares shorted as of the latest report, representing about 4.9% of the float, indicating that a significant portion of the market is betting against the stock's future performance and could drive further price declines if their thesis is validated.
