Company Report

Expedia Earnings: Fundamental Story Intact Despite Sales Ramping Below Management's Expectations

Narrow-moat Expedia guided its 2024 sales growth lower to the mid-high-single digits from around 10% due to its Vrbo brand ramping slower than expected after its recent platform migration, which sent shares down 8% in May 2 after-market trading. While the new guidance is below FactSet consensus’ 9.4% expectation, it is in line with our 7.7% projection as we have expected benefits from past network investments to begin to surface later in 2024 and into 2025.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Expedia has a dominant network effect that we think only a few can enjoy, and recent investments to unifiy its platform and acquisitions stand to add to the company's platform advantage.

Bears

Google continues to siphon free organic traffic in favor of its own platform, causing incremental marketing costs for Expedia.
