Expedia Group stock (ISIN US30212P3038) closed at USD 265.00 on Nasdaq on October 2, 2026, gaining 0.89 percent as the company entered the final quarter with higher 2026 guidance. The latest operating report showed Q2 revenue of USD 4.32 billion, up 14 percent year over year, according to Fortune on August 5, 2026.

Guidance rises after strong quarter

Expedia reported Q2 2026 adjusted EBITDA of USD 1.1 billion, equal to a 25.9 percent margin, while adjusted earnings per share increased 36 percent year over year, according to Fortune. Gross bookings grew 12 percent, supported by 6 percent room-night growth and 5 percent average daily rate growth on an exchange-rate-neutral basis.

Management raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to USD 16.05 billion to USD 16.22 billion from USD 15.6 billion to USD 16.0 billion. The company also lifted gross bookings guidance to USD 129.5 billion to USD 130.8 billion, a range that implies 8 percent to 9 percent growth, according to Fortune.

Analyst targets remain divided

The market is weighing that operating progress against a mixed valuation picture. According to Yahoo Finance, Truist maintained a Hold rating and cut its price target from USD 309 to USD 288 on September 30, 2026.

MarketBeat counted 18 Buy ratings, 21 Holds and one Sell, producing a Hold consensus and an average price target of USD 316.18 in its October 2, 2026 report. That target stands 19.3 percent above the October 2 closing price, while the published target range ran from USD 235.00 to USD 390.00, according to MarketBeat.

Stock stays below yearly high

Expedia Group stock remains 22.5 percent below its 52-week high of USD 342.00, even after the October 2 gain. The October 2 trading range was USD 261.27 to USD 269.05, with volume of 1,428,078 shares and a market capitalization of USD 31.8 billion.

For investors, the central comparison is between the raised revenue outlook and the slower growth implied by the analyst split. Expedia's B2C, B2B and trivago businesses serve leisure and corporate travel customers through brands including Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo, according to Expedia Group.
