Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

Will Expedia's revenue meet or exceed the $3.4B consensus estimate?

Meeting or exceeding this revenue target is crucial for maintaining investor confidence and could drive stock price appreciation.

What guidance will management provide for the upcoming quarters?

Future guidance will help investors understand the company's outlook amidst changing travel trends and economic conditions.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may underestimate the impact of pent-up travel demand, which could drive revenue higher than expected this quarter.

Supporting Evidence

Recent travel trends indicate a surge in bookings, potentially boosting revenue beyond consensus.

The options market is pricing a larger move than historical averages, suggesting heightened expectations.

Expedia's strong track record of beating EPS estimates could lead to a positive surprise.

Key Risk

If revenue falls below $3.3B, it could undermine confidence in the recovery narrative.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

The market is weighing the potential for continued recovery in travel against possible economic headwinds.

Bull Confirmed If

Exceeding $3.4B in revenue with strong growth in travel bookings would confirm the bull case.

Bear Confirmed If

Falling short of the $3.4B revenue target could validate bearish concerns about demand.
