1 articles · Updated · Yahoo Finance Australia · Aug 11

Summary

  • $4.32 billion in Q2 revenue rose 14% from a year earlier and beat analysts’ $4.17 billion estimate, while adjusted EPS of $5.76 also topped forecasts.
  • AI-driven personalization, supply partnerships and cost controls helped lift results, with bookings up 12%, room nights reaching 111.5 million and operating margin expanding to 18.5% from 12.8%.
  • Q3 revenue guidance of $4.70 billion came in slightly above expectations, and management said U.S. demand, APAC recovery and B2B momentum should support further growth.
  • Investor reaction was still negative as management flagged competitive pressure, softer Europe trends and moderating near-term margin expansion as Expedia increases B2B investment.
