Expedia shares drop 20% despite strong Q2 growth and raised guidance

Expedia's shares fell over 20% even though the company reported a 14% increase in Q2 sales and a 23% rise in adjusted EBITDA. Management also raised its future guidance, supported by strong B2B bookings exceeding $10 billion and international growth. The company benefits from higher margins, partner integrations, and AI opportunities, including a partnership with Meta Muse that keeps Expedia involved in travel transactions. Despite the share price drop, Expedia trades at a discount to competitors like Booking, with improving fundamentals suggesting a more positive outlook.
