BUY

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Expedia, like the hotels and airlines it links to, has pricing power. Trading above $130, EXPE is still far below its highs of $217.72, which is precisely the price target going forward. The street is split between 12 holds and 12 buys. The PE of 106x is a concern, more in line for a tech company than a tourist attraction like Six Flags Entertainment, which trades at 16x.

BUY

Companies like Expedia have pricing power. These are the companies to own and not retailers that lack pricing power like Target or Walmart.

BUY

The market prefers Growth at a Reasonable Price (GARP) stock as rates rise and tech is unfashionable. The PEG ratio is a key metric. These shares pay big dividends or buyback shares. Expedia owns Trivago, Hotels.com and other travel sites. They returned to profitability last year after taking a huge Covid hit. This year, they should nearly recover their 2019 revenue levels with much more profits. The travel recovery will lead to 364% earnings growth this year and soar in coming years. This trades at 24x this year's earnings estimates. The most recent quarter was great, but it pulled back because of the Russian war. Shares are now a bargain.

BUY

It will be choppy trading for another month for sure as we digest inflation, including services inflation--inflation is broadening out into other categories. Not enough attention is being paid to retail sales--which are up--and homes sales are also up nicely. We have to wait--nobody knows where inflation is going. She's a long-term investor. Companies that performed best during earnings season are the ones she likes: Expedia, Wynn, Hilton. Would consider AmEx, Coke, McDonald's--if you get them on sale, you can leg into them and see how it goes.

COMMENT

Options moves: June 170s strike calls in Expedia. Investors believe that travel will pick up after Omicron passes. This stock was $162, and traders are buying $8 out of the money June 170s. He likes this trade, but he jumped in at a lower strike and will sell higher as we approach $170.

BUY

All the airlines look like they're reading to bounce. Expedia ran from $157 to $188, then stopped on a dime right at the 50% retracement, so it looks due for a run up.

BUY on WEAKNESS

Fundamental score of this company is very strong with strong earnings. Thinks the company is overvalued.

merchandising / lodging

DON'T BUY

It fell after its last earnings report. Instead, look at Bookings, formerly Priceline, their direct competitor which has done extremely well (BKNG-Q) that he's long owned. Bookings has 475,000 relationships with hotels worldwide and continue to grow.

WATCH

They have done exceptionally well. Most of the travel e-tailers have done so. Dividend growth has been 7% for the last 5 years. Free cash flow has been growing, but is slowing down and is probably why the stock is easing back down. It all depends on how their pricing power will do.

merchandising / lodging

HOLD

A good internet company. It has had a really good run and the valuation is right up there. He wants to own this company, but buy it much lower. He would look for a miss-pricing.

merchandising / lodging

TOP PICK

The earnings growth is not priced in from the acquisition it just closed. It could be the "go-to" consolidator in the travel business.

COMMENT

Chart shows a pattern that seemed to be trending up through 2012 but is now breaking down. One of the factors that you should be looking for in a change of trends is the highs and lows, peaks and troughs. This chart is showing lower highs and lower lows. The recent pop has come up to the possible beginnings of a new downtrend. He is cautious on this one.

merchandising / lodging

BUY

Generally likes travel companies because of consumers starting to come back. Biggest concern he can see is a slowdown in Europe travel.

merchandising / lodging

BUY

Trading around 16X earnings. Recent numbers had some margin compression, partially caused by having a bunch of “marketing spend” because of going into a difficult period in travel. Thinks this will come off and margins will increase. Great free cash flow yield of about 9%.
