Price and EPS Surprise Expedia Group, Inc. price-eps-surprise | Expedia Group, Inc. QuoteFactors to ConsiderManagement projected third-quarter gross bookings to grow 5% to 7% and revenues to increase 4% to 6%, though warned of moderation in fourth-quarter growth due to challenging year-over-year comparisons.The company noted softened U.S. travel market conditions during the second quarter, with consumers at the higher end remaining resilient while those at the lower end took a more cautious approach to discretionary spending, though management observed an uptick in overall travel demand since July. This improved July momentum is likely to have influenced third-quarter bookings and revenue performance, particularly in the domestic market.In August, Expedia's board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of 40 cents per share payable on Sept. 18, 2025, to stockholders of record as of Aug. 28, 2025. This dividend payment demonstrated management's confidence in the company's cash generation capabilities and capital allocation priorities during the quarter.Following a strong first-half performance and current travel demand trends observed in July, the company raised its annual guidance, expecting full-year gross bookings and revenue growth of 3% to 5% with adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of a full point. The guidance increase reflected management's optimism about sustained travel demand trends entering the summer peak season.Given persistent uncertainties around U.S. consumer spending, investors should maintain a neutral position and await better entry points following the earnings release.What Our Model Says for EXPEPer the Zacks model, the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat.EXPE currently has an Earnings ESP of +8.44% and a Zacks Rank #3.
