$1000 Invested In Expedia Group 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Expedia Group's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NYSE">EXPE</a>) short percent of float has risen 10.73% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 6.56 million shares sold short, which is 6.19% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.75 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Expedia Group Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748278822_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Expedia Group has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Expedia Group's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Expedia Group's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.05%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

$1000 Invested In Expedia Group 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

In the current market session, Expedia Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>) stock price is at $164.33, after a 1.40% decrease. However, over the past month, the company's stock went up by 7.47%, and in the past year, by 47.12%.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747663221_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at Expedia Group P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 37.15 in the Hotels, Restaurants &amp; Leisure industry, Expedia Group Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 19.89. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747663221_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Price Over Earnings Overview: Expedia Group

As ValueAct Holdings, LP. buys a fresh stake in Rocket Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKT#NYSE">RKT</a>), Andrew Left&#8216;s Citron Research endorses the move, calling the investment a &#8220;multi-year story.&#8221;
What Happened: The co-CEO and CIO of ValueAct, Mason Morfit, added 6.728 million shares worth $81.213 million to its portfolio during the first quarter, according to its 13F filings.
The company represented 1.8% of ValueAct&#8217;s total holdings as of the first quarter.
However, Rocket&#8217;s recent SEC filing dated May 15 showed that ValueAct held 15.125 million shares in the company, representing 9.9% of the total stake.
Citron Research cited this in an X post and lauded the co-CEO, Morfit, for being the &#8220;most strategic, long-term thinkers&#8221; and stating that he is one of the minds who reshaped Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) from the boardroom. 
&#8220;When someone like that sees $RKT as a compounder, it's not about quarterly noise—it's the start of a multi-year story,&#8221; said Citron&#8217;s post.
Highlighting Morfit&#8217;s comments, it added, &#8220;The CEO called Rocket a &#8216;sleeping giant&#8217; in its &#8216;early innings&#8217; yesterday,&#8221; the post added.

ValueAct just filed a 10% stake. Mason Morfit isn't just any investor—he's the mind who reshaped Microsoft from the boardroom.

<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.

Shares of travel and leisure stocks are trading higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. This could reduce economic uncertainty that has been clouding travel and spending outlook.

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) remains a stock to hold for the long term despite recent market volatility, with the potential to reach a $1 trillion valuation, according to Will McGough, Director of Investments at Prime Capital Financial.
What Happened: McGough maintains his buy recommendation on the artificial intelligence software company even after its shares have surged 55% this year, pushing its market cap to $281 billion, now exceeding Salesforce, which generates 10 times more revenue, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/09/palantir-may-grow-to-a-trillion-dollar-market-value-investor-says.html">reported</a> CNBC.
&#8220;I think you own for the ride to a trillion-dollar market cap knowing it&#8217;s going to be extremely volatile,&#8221; McGough said. 
The bullish outlook aligns with Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, who recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45216263/pltr-stock-falls-9-19-in-premarket-trading-but-this-analyst-remains-bullish-predicts-1-trillion-valuation-in-3-years">raised his price target</a> from $120 to $140 while calling Palantir &#8220;the Messi of AI&#8221; and &#8220;a core name in the AI Revolution.&#8221; Ives similarly projected a trillion-dollar valuation within three years, citing the company&#8217;s success with its AIP product and multi-million dollar deals pipeline.

Why It Matters: Palantir&#8217;s lofty valuation metrics remain controversial, trading at 520 times trailing earnings, almost 200 times forward earnings and 90 times revenue. The disparity has created a stark divide between institutional skeptics and retail investors who have driven the stock up over 400% in the past year.
The data analytics firm reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/05/45229767/pltr-focused-etfs-down-whats-really-behind-palantirs-plunge-the-numbers-dont-tell-the-full-story">impressive first-quarter results</a>, with revenue beating expectations at $883.86 million, up 39% year-over-year. U.S. commercial revenue specifically surged 71%, while CEO Alex Karp described a &#8220;tectonic shift&#8221; in software adoption.
Price Action: Palantir closed at $117.30 on Friday, down 1.55% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped another 0.49% to $116.72. Year to date, Palantir shares have surged 56%.
Palantir Technologies shows strong growth and momentum, but ranks low on valuation metrics, according to Benzinga Stock Edge Rankings. PLTR shares exhibit a positive price trend across both short- and long-term periods. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Check the detailed report here</a>.

PLTR Stock Remains Long-Term Buy Despite Sky-High Valuation, Says Prime Capital's McGough—Joins Dan Ives In Predicting $1 Trillion Market Cap Amid AI Surge

Goldman Sachs analyst Eric Sheridan maintains Expedia Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>) with a Buy and lowers the price target from $219 to $183.

Goldman Sachs Maintains Buy on Expedia Group, Lowers Price Target to $183

Wall Street traded slightly lower by midday Friday, as investors adopted a wait-and-see stance ahead of a potential trade breakthrough, with high-stakes negotiations between U.S. officials—led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent—and Chinese authorities set to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">unfold over the weekend.</a>
President Donald Trump signaled that tariffs on Chinese goods could be slashed from the current 145% to 80%, though that figure remains significantly higher than pre-Liberation Day levels, prompting continued caution among market participants.
Equities gave back a portion of Thursday's gains as sentiment turned more defensive, while gold rebounded 1% to $3,330 per ounce, partially offsetting losses from the previous session.
Oil prices extended their rally, climbing further above $60 a barrel amid an improved global demand outlook, putting crude on track for its strongest weekly performance since late 2024. Natural gas followed suit, with Henry Hub futures rising 4.4%.
In fixed income, Treasury yields held steady, with the 10-year yield hovering around 4.37%.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) took a breather after Thursday's 6.4% surge, trading just above $102,500.
