Ten ratios that matter, each compared against its sector median and average — so you can see whether a number is rich or cheap relative to peers in the same sector.
Expedia Group operates as a digital travel marketplace that connects travelers with accommodation, flight, car, insurance, and activity suppliers through the Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo brands. Its consumer business relies on booking trip components and increasing the attachment rate of additional products, while its B2B platform enables more than 70,000 partners to build travel offerings using Expedia's inventory, technology, and services. The company is also expanding advertising revenue across its websites, Vrbo, and the B2B platform.
In fiscal Q2 2026, revenue reached $4.3 billion, up 14% year over year, while net income according to EDGAR was approximately $878 million and earnings per share were $7.16. On an adjusted basis, the company generated EBITDA of $1.1 billion at a margin of 25.9%, up 23% year over year with an improvement of approximately two percentage points, while adjusted earnings per share rose 36%. The provided data did not include a gross profit figure, so the profitability assessment is based on net income and adjusted EBITDA.
Gross bookings rose 12% in fiscal Q2 2026, driven by 6% growth in room nights and a 5% increase in average daily rates on a currency-neutral basis. Consumer bookings grew 8%, and the U.S. market recorded its fastest growth in 15 quarters, while the B2B business completed twenty consecutive quarters of double-digit growth. Geographically, the U.S. market accounts for approximately two-thirds of the consumer business, while approximately two-thirds of the B2B business comes from outside the United States. Over the last 12 months, revenue reached $15.2 billion, net income was $1.5 billion, and earnings per share were approximately $12.21, compared with revenue of $14.7 billion and net income of $1.3 billion in fiscal 2025.
Analyst consensus rates EXPE as "Neutral," with an average price target of $344.4 and a wide range between $285 and $430. The average is only $2.4 above the 52-week range high of $342, compared with a low of $185.34. The wide target range indicates meaningful disagreement about the sustainability of B2B growth and margin expansion, although Wells Fargo raised its target on August 7, 2026, to $307 from $303 while maintaining an Equal Weight rating, and Susquehanna raised its target to $315 from $250.

Expedia Group's revenue rose 14% to $4.3 billion, and gross bookings increased 12%, with room nights growing 6% and average daily rates rising 5% on a currency-neutral basis. Adjusted EBITDA reached $1.1 billion at a margin of 25.9%, while net income according to EDGAR was approximately $878 million and earnings per share were $7.16. The results benefited from strong U.S. demand, continued double-digit B2B growth, improved marketing returns, and expense discipline.
On August 5, 2026, management raised the gross bookings range to $129.5–$130.8 billion, representing annual growth of between 8% and 9%. It raised the revenue range to $16.05–$16.22 billion, representing growth of between 9% and 10%, assuming that currency contributes approximately one percentage point to bookings growth and two points to revenue growth. It also expects the adjusted EBITDA margin to expand by 150–175 basis points compared with fiscal 2025.
In fiscal Q2 2026, the B2B business completed twenty consecutive quarters of double-digit growth and serves more than 70,000 partners. Approximately two-thirds of this business comes from outside the United States, giving Expedia a different geographic mix from the consumer business, approximately two-thirds of which is concentrated in the U.S. market. The company is seeking to expand the platform from an accommodation-focused business into an integrated travel store through Tiqets and its intention, announced in May 2026, to acquire CarTrawler, but these investments are pressuring segment margins during the execution period.

The company uses artificial intelligence to improve result rankings, recommendations, and personalization across Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo, and it launched natural-language search on the Vrbo homepage and updated Property Expert and AI Compare. Management said on August 5, 2026, that these conversational tools collect more than 60% more information about traveler intent, but they had not generated a direct increase in conversion through fiscal Q2 2026. The company also announced the acquisition of Layla and expanded its experiments with ChatGPT and new Google services, while AEO traffic remained small despite being one of its fastest-growing channels.
Management expects bookings to grow by 5%–7% to $32.2–$32.8 billion and revenue to grow by 5%–8% to $4.65–$4.75 billion, representing a slowdown from fiscal Q2 2026. It attributes this to difficult comparisons and an expected one-percentage-point negative currency impact on bookings, while pressure on outbound European travel continues. It also expects margin expansion to slow due to B2B investments, the fading effect of some previous cost reductions, and an unfavorable net currency impact.
Free cash flow reached $4.5 billion during the last 12 months through fiscal Q2 2026. The company repurchased approximately 880,000 shares for $200 million during the quarter at an average execution price of $226 per share, and year-to-date repurchases reached $900 million. Management defines its capital priorities as organic investment, disciplined acquisitions that support the strategy, dividends, and selective share repurchases.
