PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 19/21, Down 3%) Strong quarterly earnings, upped guidance. Huge pent-up demand. Sunny skies ahead. People in Europe are travelling, and most revenue comes from there. It will be a higher beta name based on news headlines.

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. The same story as Expedia: rapid earnings growth, a cheap valuation, a travel recovery tailwind. BH is more international than Expedia, which may be an issue given Covid in China. BH is down 20% off all-time highs, so that worry is baked in. Expedia is a little less risky than BKNG.

WEAK BUY
It's a play on travel which is seeing enormous bookings and full planes, but airlines and cruiselines are struggling with rocketing fuel and worker costs.
department stores
BUY
Pandemic, rising inflation and fuel costs have been hard on business.
Travel increasing which is good future revenue.
Stock price presenting good buying opportunity.
Will continue to hold.

Unspecified
Leading online travel agency. Since it has more exposure to Europe it's too hard to analyze because of what might happen with travel in Europe. Therefore he is on the sidelines.

TOP PICK
He's bought and sold over the years. A 21st century answer to the travel business. Incredibly efficient. Expects over $90 EPS this year, expects at least $150 EPS by mid-decade. Bottom-up fundamentals plus top-down macro tailwinds. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $2665.44)

BUY
Great technicals now. They showed good bookings last year until Omicron hit them hard. But the credit card companies, even Citi, indicate signs of major travel spending in the next 6 months. Bookings' labour costs are low compared to service companies. She sees more than a 30% return over the coming year.

BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Though BKNG pays no dividend and trades at 244x earnings, the stock boasts an operating margin of 13.6% and a profit margin of 4.06% while its ROE stands at 7.15%. That beats its rival Expedia at -9.39%, -10.65% and -59.16%. Further, stock performance has been encouraging with BKNG beating earnings in the last three of four quarters. Of course, any stock in the travel sector will get hammered on any Omicron news. On Black Friday, shares tanked by 7.2%. Again, consider those buying opportunities.

TOP PICK
World's largest travel agency by revenue. In over 220 countries. With vaccines accelerating worldwide especially in kids, and anti-viral pills, could boost travel well beyond pre-pandemic levels as pent-up demand will create "revenge travel". Earnings next year should surpass pre-pandemic levels. Stock's come off, so this is an opportunity. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $2758.81)
department stores
TOP PICK
This is a tech, travel and reopening giant that will benefit as more countries allow their people to travel, which will unleash pent-up demand. It's a large travel company that owns Booking.com, Kayak.com, Priceline.com and Rentalcars.com. Use BKNG to book plane tickets, hotel rooms and rental cars, often at a discount. Like all travel stocks, BKNG was hammered by Covid, but will benefit from a strong bounceback. Though operating at a $311 million loss last quarter (all figures in USD), BKNG did hold $12 billion in cash, just slightly below its $14 billion debt. Americans are traveling like mad, what one analyst has termed “travel revenge,” but the States accounts for less than a third of BKNG's business. Rather, overseas, particularly Europe, is BKNG's bread and butter, and Europe is starting to reopening beyond the U.K. The street has eight buys and eights holds on the stock at a US$2,581 price target. Caveats: Booking Holdingspays no dividend, and shares are floating under US$2,200 these days.

TOP PICK
World's largest by sales. Tremendous pent-up demand for travel, which will be unleashed as vaccinations rise and Covid cases decline. Revenues may even surpass pre-pandemic levels. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $2521.37)
department stores
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 30/20, Up 18%) Continues to buy. Growth from emerging markets over the next 10 years is quite strong. Normalization of activity will bring revenue to pre-pandemic levels by 2022. Diversified.

DON'T BUY
Buy this in advance of a Covid vaccine?
One day, travel will come, but don't buy this yet.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 22/19, Down 3%) An online travel marketing machine without fixed costs. Adversely affected by the pandemic. He sold. Market is building up the price on hopes of a vaccine and a recovering economy. Likes the concept, but not the right time.

DON'T BUY
He has looked closely at it and the biggest struggle was trying them out and getting moved to Google. He would rather avoid it.
