Expedia slides as investors focus on 2026 margin outlook after earnings

None

Expedia Group, Inc. (EXPE) is down 6.25% today. Here is some analysis on what might have caused this price movement.

Analysis: The drop appears tied to a post-earnings reset, with investors weighing a relatively modest 2026 margin-expansion outlook against the stock’s prior run-up. This could also be amplified by cautious analyst commentary on the online travel sector’s 2026 setup (demand sensitivity, marketing intensity, and AI-driven traffic risk).

Details:

  • Expedia reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results on February 12, 2026, including 11% year-over-year growth in Q4 gross bookings and revenue and a 23.9% adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter.
  • Company guidance called for Q1 2026 revenue growth of roughly 11%–13% year over year and full-year 2026 revenue growth of roughly 6%–9% year over year, alongside only modest full-year adjusted EBITDA margin expansion.
  • Sector-level concerns have been swirling around 2026 demand and competitive dynamics for online travel agencies, which can pressure multiples even when near-term results are solid.
  • With EXPE having been well off its January 2026 highs recently, today’s move could reflect additional de-risking and momentum unwinds following the earnings catalyst.
