Shares of Expedia Group have dipped 20.6% from its 52-week high of $207.73. EXPE stock has dropped 4.7% over the past three months, underperforming the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLY) 7.1% increase.

The stock has climbed above its 50-day moving average since early May.

Shares of Expedia Group tumbled 7.3% following its Q1 2025 earnings release on May 8. Quarterly revenue rose 3.4% year-over-year to $3 billion, driven by growth in the B2B and Advertising businesses. However, the figure fell short of Street expectations due to soft travel demand in the United States. The company’s net loss widened by 49% compared to the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EPS came in at $0.40, up 90.5% year-over-year, but still missed the consensus estimate by 4.8%.

While EXPE has outperformed the sector over the past year, analysts are cautiously optimistic about its stock’s prospects. EXPE has a consensus rating of “Moderate Buy” from the 32 analysts covering the stock, and as of writing, it is trading below the mean price target of $188.30.
