Key Factors to Note

TripAdvisor’s fourth-quarter 2023 results are expected to have benefited from strong momentum across the Viator segment, driven by growing brand marketing strategies and enhancing search experience.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter Viator segment’s revenues is pegged at $155.8 million, indicating growth of 22.7% from the year-ago reported figure.

Growing momentum in app bookings among repeat diners and strengthening operational efficiencies are likely to have aided TheFork segment’s performance during the fourth quarter.

The consensus estimate for TheFork segment revenues stands at $37.7 million, suggesting a 14.2% increase year over year.

Solid momentum in destination bookings outside of the United States is expected to have bolstered its top-line performance during the quarter under review.

The company’s growing generative AI initiatives to summarize reviews and deliver clear insights to travelers on key quality attributes while making choices are likely to have acted as tailwinds for the company in the to-be-reported quarter.

However, weakening momentum across Tripadvisor-branded hotels is likely to have negatively impacted the Tripadvisor Core segment’s performance during the fourth quarter.

The consensus mark for Tripadvisor Core revenues stands at $208.28 million, indicating a decline of 4% from the year-ago reported figure.

Sluggishness across flights, car rental and vacation rental categories is expected to have been headwinds for the company’s top-line growth during the quarter under review.
