Citi raises Web Travel stock rating to Buy, target to AUD6.60

On Friday, Citi analysts upgraded Web Travel Group Ltd (WEB:AU) (OTC:WEBJF) stock rating from Neutral to Buy, increasing the price target to AUD6.60, up from the previous AUD5.50. The upgrade reflects the company’s strong performance and positive future outlook despite challenging macroeconomic conditions.

Samuel Seow of Citi noted the travel company’s in-line financial results and its robust trading outlook. He highlighted Web Travel Group’s significant market share growth and the expectation that the company will double its profits. These factors contributed to the decision to upgrade the stock to a Buy rating.

While the upgrade suggests confidence in Web Travel Group’s growth trajectory, Citi maintains a High-Risk rating on the stock. Seow pointed out two primary risks: the potential for rapid changes in take rates due to increased competition and the possibility that any volatility from April tariffs will not be immediately apparent in financial figures because of the company’s revenue recognition policies.

Despite these risks, Citi’s analysis suggests that the growth prospects for Web Travel Group are compelling. Seow concluded that the attractive growth potential makes the stock a worthwhile investment considering the risk/reward profile.

Investors and market watchers will be closely monitoring Web Travel Group’s performance in the coming months to see if the company can sustain its growth and manage the risks outlined by Citi. The upgraded rating and higher price target indicate a positive outlook for the company’s stock in the near term.
