Investing.com - Benchmark raised its price target on Expedia (NASDAQ:EXPE) to $265.00 from $215.00 on Friday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the online travel agency’s stock. According to InvestingPro data, Expedia currently trades at a P/E ratio of 21.77, with analyst targets ranging from $160 to $290.
The price target increase follows Expedia’s recent earnings report, in which the company noted an uptick in overall travel demand since the beginning of July, particularly in the United States.
Based on this improved demand and solid first-half performance, Expedia raised its annual guidance, which now forecasts 3-5% growth in gross bookings and revenue, along with a 100 basis point improvement in margins.
The revised outlook represents a 1% increase in gross booking and revenue expectations, along with a 25 basis point increase in margin guidance compared to previous forecasts.
Benchmark’s new price target reflects a 9x EBITDA multiple applied to Expedia’s business, which the firm describes as being at the bottom of the range for travel industry valuations.
