If You Invested $100 In This Stock 20 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Expedia Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>) is drawing fresh optimism from Wall Street amid signs of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">rebound in U.S. travel demand. </a> Bank of America Securities (BofA) analyst Justin Post reiterated the Buy rating on Expedia Group, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/EXPE/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $211.</a>
Post maintains a positive stance on Expedia, noting that a mild recovery in U.S. bookings during the summer and shoulder season could catalyze the stock, which is heavily tied to the domestic travel market.
The analyst sees fewer downside risks to estimates, thanks to stabilizing trends since April, and points to multiple key tailwinds that could aid Expedia.

These include continued growth in its B2B and advertising segments, aided by new airline partnerships with Southwest Airlines Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) and Ryanair Holdings plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYAAY#NASDAQ">RYAAY</a>).
Post expects EBITDA to grow 7% in 2025, based on conservative 2% growth from the B2C segment, which is reasonable given the company's flat U.S. and 33% international exposure. 
He also highlights Expedia's strong free cash flow profile and buyback potential, estimating the company could repurchase some 10% of its shares over the next year, excluding dividends.
This, combined with easier year-over-year comparisons in 2026, could help improve investor sentiment.
The stock, which has lagged peers year-to-date, is currently trading at 5.8x estimated 2026 EBITDA and 9x expected 2026 FCF—valuations that Post believes remain attractive.
U.S. air travel data continues to show year-over-year declines, with June airline spending down 10.9% and lodging spending down 3.5%, according to Bank of America card data.
While these figures mark a further deceleration from May, Post believes the stability in recent trends reduces the risk of further estimate cuts.
Price Action: EXPE shares are trading higher by 0.88% to $184.60&nbsp;at last check Friday.

$1000 Invested In Expedia Group 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

In the current market session, Expedia Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>) stock price is at $164.33, after a 1.40% decrease. However, over the past month, the company's stock went up by 7.47%, and in the past year, by 47.12%.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747663221_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at Expedia Group P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 37.15 in the Hotels, Restaurants &amp; Leisure industry, Expedia Group Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 19.89. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747663221_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Price Over Earnings Overview: Expedia Group

As ValueAct Holdings, LP. buys a fresh stake in Rocket Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKT#NYSE">RKT</a>), Andrew Left&#8216;s Citron Research endorses the move, calling the investment a &#8220;multi-year story.&#8221;
What Happened: The co-CEO and CIO of ValueAct, Mason Morfit, added 6.728 million shares worth $81.213 million to its portfolio during the first quarter, according to its 13F filings.
The company represented 1.8% of ValueAct&#8217;s total holdings as of the first quarter.
However, Rocket&#8217;s recent SEC filing dated May 15 showed that ValueAct held 15.125 million shares in the company, representing 9.9% of the total stake.
Citron Research cited this in an X post and lauded the co-CEO, Morfit, for being the &#8220;most strategic, long-term thinkers&#8221; and stating that he is one of the minds who reshaped Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) from the boardroom. 
&#8220;When someone like that sees $RKT as a compounder, it's not about quarterly noise—it's the start of a multi-year story,&#8221; said Citron&#8217;s post.
Highlighting Morfit&#8217;s comments, it added, &#8220;The CEO called Rocket a &#8216;sleeping giant&#8217; in its &#8216;early innings&#8217; yesterday,&#8221; the post added.

ValueAct just filed a 10% stake. Mason Morfit isn't just any investor—he's the mind who reshaped Microsoft from the boardroom.
