On August 6, Expedia rose 5.58% in after-hours trading, trading at $340.00/share, with turnover of $11.15 million.
The movement was driven by the company's strong Q2 financial results. Expedia reported adjusted EPS of $5.76, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $5.23 by 10.13%, representing a 35.85% increase over the $4.24 per share earned in the year-ago quarter. Revenue came in at $4.315 billion, surpassing the $4.175 billion estimate.
The earnings beat builds on a series of positive developments including multiple analyst price target increases, a strategic 12-month partnership with Allegiant Travel achieving 100% US airline coverage, the acquisition of CarTrawler to strengthen its B2B platform, and AI-powered tool launches. Analysts had previously noted Expedia's relative resilience due to its US-focused business mix, with Truist highlighting its potential to outperform Booking Holdings given lower Middle East exposure.
