What’s Happening With Expedia’s Stock?
Expedia’s stock (NASDAQ: EXPE), a travel company providing everything from airline tickets, hotel rooms, car rentals, to cruises, has increased 13% over the last twenty-one trading days (one month) and currently stands near $181. It should be noted that the broader S&P500 returned a 5% growth during the same period. Expedia benefited from mass vaccinations and has noticed encouraging trends in booking rates in the countries where vaccine distribution is being organized successfully. But still, the travel sector has been only recovering in fits and starts due to waves of the pandemic drifting around for the majority of 2021. The latest emergence of the omicron variant has again mounted fears of another wave of the pandemic. This could likely lead to new international travel restrictions, negatively impacting the broader economic recovery. However, early signs that the Covid-19 variant may be causing milder symptoms than previous strains could provide a sigh of relief to the travel companies. Although it’s still too soon to tell for sure.
In the recent Q3, Expedia’s revenues almost grew two times year-over-year (y-o-y) to $3 billion. Our Expedia Revenues dashboard provides more insight into the companies’ revenues. Also, EXPE’s net income and adjusted EBITDA nearly matched Q3 2019 levels driven by Vrbo and domestic travel improvements. However, booking trends for lodging, air, and other travel products all declined sequentially from the second quarter of 2021 largely due to the impact of the Covid Delta variant.
