Wall Street Expectations

Overall, expectations are high for Expedia as it has consistently beaten EPS estimates in recent quarters. Investors are looking for continued strong performance amid a recovering travel market.

Bull Case

If Expedia continues its trend of beating EPS estimates and shows strong revenue growth, it could signal robust demand for travel services, leading to a significant stock price increase.

Bear Case

Conversely, if the company fails to meet expectations or provides weak guidance, it could raise concerns about the sustainability of its growth, potentially leading to a stock decline.

Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What will the EPS be this quarter, and how does it compare to previous quarters?

Given the company's strong track record of beating EPS estimates, this figure will be crucial for investor confidence.

How has booking volume changed compared to last quarter?

This will provide insight into consumer demand and the effectiveness of Expedia's marketing strategies.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may underestimate the potential for significant revenue growth driven by increased travel demand, especially as consumer confidence continues to recover.

Supporting Evidence

Expedia has consistently beaten EPS estimates, indicating strong operational performance.

The options market is pricing in a 3.55% move, suggesting traders expect volatility that may not align with actual performance.

Key Risk

Edge
