Read MoreHide Full Article
Expedia Group, Inc. (EXPE - Free Report) is scheduled to report its first-quarter 2024 results on May 2.
For the to-be-reported quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $2.80 billion, suggesting growth of 5.2% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Further, the consensus mark for loss is pegged at 37 cents per share, suggesting a decline of 85% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.
Expedia’s first-quarter 2024 results are likely to have benefited from solid momentum across gross bookings, driven by increasing ‘booked room nights’ and accelerating lodging revenues.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for gross bookings is pinned at $30.57 billion, suggesting growth of 4% year over year.
The company’s growing initiatives to infuse generative AI technology into its services are expected to have driven customer momentum by delivering an enhanced user experience during the to-be-reported quarter.
Strong momentum across the APAC region and growing investments for B2B-specific innovations are expected to have contributed well to the B2B segment’s performance in the quarter under review.
The consensus mark for B2B revenues stands at $752.52 million, indicating growth of 12.7% from the year-ago reported figure.
Increasing travel demand is likely to have positively impacted B2C revenues during the first quarter.
However, sluggishness in the Trivago segment is expected to have negatively impacted the company’s top line in the first quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for trivago revenues is pegged at $76.11 million, indicating a decline of 36% year over year.
Weakness across the car business, owing to continued pressure on car rental rates, is expected to have hurt EXPE’s profitability in the quarter under review.
Macroeconomic uncertainties and intensifying online travel competition are likely to have been headwinds for the company.
