Expedia Group, Inc. valued at a market capitalization of approximately $21 billion. (EXPE) is a global online travel agency that helps consumers and businesses book travel services such as flights, hotels, car rentals, holiday packages, activities and more. Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, the company operates through the B2C, B2B and Trivago segments.
Companies worth more than $10 billion are generally classified as “large” stocks, and Expedia Group fits this description perfectly. The company offers industry-leading technology solutions fueled by partner growth and success. Three flagship consumer brands include Expedia, hotels.com and VRBO.
Expedia Group’s shares have soaked 20.6% from 52 weeks at $207.73. Expe stock has declined 4.7% over the past three months, below the consumer discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (Xly) 7.1% increase.
In the long term, Expe stock fell 11.5% on a YTD basis, falling behind Xly, falling 6.1%. However, in the past 52 weeks, Expedia Group shares have skyrocketed 31.4%, surpassing Xly’s 16.4% return.
Stocks rose above the 50-day moving average since early May.
Expedia Group shares fell 7.3% on May 8, following its first quarter 2025 revenue release. Quarterly revenues rose 3.4% year-on-year to $3 billion, resulting in growth in B2B and advertising businesses. However, this figure has not met street expectations due to soft travel demand in the US. The company’s net losses increased 49% compared to the previous year’s quarter. Adjusted EPS was $0.40, up 90.5% year-on-year, but still missed a 4.8% consensus estimate.
Carnival Corporation & PLC (CCL) outperforms Expe Stock compared to peers. CCL shares fell 4.6% on a YTD basis, earning 48% over the past 52 weeks.
Although Expe has surpassed the sector in the past year, analysts are cautiously optimistic about the stock outlook. Expe has a “moderate purchase” consensus rating from 32 analysts covering stocks. At the time of writing, it is below the average price target of $188.30.
