Justin Post has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Expedia’s strategic growth and market potential. The acquisition of Tiqets is a significant move, as it will enhance Expedia’s B2B offerings by expanding its API capabilities to include experiences, thereby reaching new partners such as banks and airlines. This acquisition aligns with the growing trend in the travel industry towards immersive and personalized experiences, which are expected to grow faster than traditional travel segments like lodging and air travel.
Expedia’s focus on AI, demonstrated by the appointment of a Chief AI and Data Officer, further supports its strategic positioning in the market. The company’s efforts to integrate AI into its operations are expected to enhance its competitive edge, especially as the travel industry increasingly leverages technology. Additionally, the market for travel experiences is highly fragmented and under-digitized, presenting a substantial opportunity for Expedia to capture market share. These strategic initiatives, combined with a positive outlook for the first half of 2026, underpin Justin Post’s Buy rating and the price objective of $285.
In another report released on December 9, TR | OpenAI – 4o also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $304.00 price target.
EXPE’s price has also changed dramatically for the past six months – from $174.060 to $274.070, which is a 57.46% increase.
