Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
In addition to their assessments, some analysts extend their insights by offering predictions for key metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates.

It is crucial to recognize that, despite their specialization, analysts are human and can only provide forecasts based on their beliefs.

JP Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth maintains Tripadvisor (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRIP#NASDAQ">TRIP</a>) with a Underweight and raises the price target from $14 to $15.

JP Morgan Maintains Underweight on Tripadvisor, Raises Price Target to $15

Tripadvisor Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRIP#NASDAQ">TRIP</a>) posted a strong fourth quarter earnings on Thursday, beating estimates with earnings per share of $0.30, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TRIP/earnings">42.86% surprise over the $0.21 projection</a>.
Revenue hit $411 million, topping forecasts by 2.75%.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Solid Q4, But JPMorgan Sees Rough Road Ahead</h2>
Despite the beat, JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth remains Underweight on the stock, citing multiple headwinds.
"Holiday timing, tough comps, &amp; FX weigh on 1Q guide," Anmuth noted, while management expects 2025 growth to be "back-half weighted due to hotel meta's tough pricing comps in 1H." He added that 2026 could bring a turnaround with "acceleration expected across top &amp; bottom lines."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Long-Term Prospects Hinged On Brand Transformation</h2>
While Tripadvisor's experiences and dining platforms, Viator and TheFork, continue to grow, the core brand&#8217;s pivot from hotel meta-search to travel planning is dragging results. 
Anmuth emphasized, "Brand Tripadvisor's transformation…remains in its early days and is weighing on revenue and Adj. EBITDA growth in the near term."
Management projects full-year revenue growth of 5%-7% in 2025, with adjusted EBITDA margins compressing by around 50bps at the high end. The Liberty Tripadvisor Holdings merger is still on track for second quarter completion, but Anmuth cut 2025 and 2026 EBITDA projections by 5% and 7%, sticking to his $15 price target.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Technicals Show Mixed Signals</h2>
Technically, TRIP stock is in moderately bearish territory. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent012125&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="629" height="489" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/21080744/Screenshot-2025-02-21-at-6.06.44-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-793102" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/21080744/Screenshot-2025-02-21-at-6.06.44-PM.png 629w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/21080744/Screenshot-2025-02-21-at-6.06.44-PM-300x233.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px" /></a></figure>

The stock trades at $16.50, below its eight-day and 20-day simple moving averages, both flashing bearish signals at $17.66. However, the 50-day and 200-day SMAs, at $15.79 and $16.04 respectively, suggest a bullish tilt. 
The MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) reading of 0.43 suggests bullish sentiment, while an RSI (relative strength index) of 44.01 reflects neutral sentiment.
Overall, while Tripadvisor's fourth-quarter results showed resilience, near-term headwinds, and margin pressures keep JPMorgan on the sidelines.
With the stock trading below key averages and growth weighted toward the back half of 2025, TRIP remains a wait-and-see story for now.

Shares of travel-related companies are trading higher amid TSA traveler screening data which showed higher figures for the end of 2024.

The airline industry has taken off in 2024, outpacing even the high-flying tech sector. The U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>), a fund that tracks the airline sector, is up 34% year-to-date as of Dec. 27, compared to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech">Nasdaq 100's 27% gain.</a>
This surge reflects robust demand for premium travel, strategic operational shifts, and booming holiday traffic.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Travel Frenzy Lifts Airline ETF</h3>
Thanksgiving marked a pivotal moment for airline stocks this year. Over the six-day travel period, the TSA screened an estimated 18.3 million passengers—a 6% increase from 2023—pushing the JETS ETF up nearly 6% for November. 
"As a pure consumer play, JETS is a way for investors to capitalize on peak holiday travel, which is expected to see records this year," recently said Kent Thune, research analyst at ETF.com. 
The expert attributed the ETF's recent gains to declining fuel costs and strong seasonal demand. Since August, the JETS ETF has outperformed the tech-heavy Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) by robust 31 percentage points. 
JETS' portfolio is heavily weighted toward U.S. airlines with 70% stake, including a 10% weight in American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) and 8.5% in budget carrier Southwest Airlines Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>). The ETF also holds smaller positions in Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), Expedia Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>), and TripAdvisor Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRIP#NASDAQ">TRIP</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Premium Demand Redefines Industry</h3>
Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) and United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>), the second and fourth-largest U.S. carriers by market share, have been standout performers, surging 53% and 140% respectively this year. Together, they account for over 26% of JETS' holdings. 
Despite facing cost pressures from rising pilot salaries and maintenance expenses, the airlines have thrived thanks to booming demand for premium travel options. Delta recently revealed plans to expand high-end services, projecting premium ticket revenues will surpass main cabin sales—a trend reshaping the industry's profit dynamics.
"Premium revenue trends have outpaced main cabin over the last several years," Catharine O'Brien, an analyst at Goldman Sachs, said.
"Airlines have disaggregated premium demand to serve more segments of premium demand from premium economy seats in the main cabin to lie flat business class, with premium international economy and domestic first class in between,&#8221; she said. 
The analyst indicated that airlines with exposure to premium travel and strategic capacity improvements, including Delta, Alaska Air Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>), and United, are expected to outperform next year.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Leasing Market Tailwinds</h3>
Aircraft lessors like AerCap Holdings N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AER#NYSE">AER</a>) and Air Lease Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AL#NYSE">AL</a>) are also benefiting from tight supply and strong demand. 
According to Goldman Sachs, higher lease extensions and gains on sales are boosting profitability, with analyst forecasting improved returns on equity for lessors in 2025.
&#8220;Looking into 2025, we expect many of the same themes to persist, with the drivers of aircraft availability mixed and unit cost inflation continuing, but decelerating,&#8221; O&#8217;Brien said.

Upon consummation of the Merger, Tripadvisor plans to retire approximately 27 million shares of Tripadvisor common stock currently held by Liberty TripAdvisor, net of approximately 2.4 million shares underlying the VPF.
Accordingly, Tripadvisor views this transaction as effectively a repurchase of the Tripadvisor common stock held by Liberty TripAdvisor.&nbsp;
The implied share price for the acquisition of such shares of Tripadvisor common stock from Liberty Tripadvisor is $16.21 (which reflects a premium of approximately 16% based on the 10-day volume-weighted average share price as of December 17, 2024).
The transaction will result in the simplification of Tripadvisor's capital structure into a single class of shares with no controlling stockholder, thereby creating more strategic flexibility for Tripadvisor.

Tripadvisor Agrees To Acquire Liberty TripAdvisor; Aggregate Transaction Value Is Approximately $435M

Alex Jones&#8217;s media company, Infowars, is now the property of satirical publication The Onion. The publication&#8217;s backers were none other than the families <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/41982446/jokes-on-jones-onion-backed-by-families-of-sandy-hook-victims-buys-info-wars">of Sandy Hook victims</a>. Observers praised the deal as poetic justice, considering Jones owes over $1 billion in defamation judgments against those families. Jones, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36168941/elon-musks-controversial-move-alex-jones-returns-to-x-after-user-vote">has garnered sympathy from</a> right-wing personalities like Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson, confirmed the acquisition in a visibly distressed social media video, blaming &#8220;Democrats.&#8221;

Sinclair, the parent company, took on $8 billion in debt to buy regional channels from Fox for $10.6 billion in 2019. That debt contributed to Diamond&#8217;s bankruptcy.

Wall Street anticipates a surge in M&amp;A as Republicans take control of Congress and deregulate. Analysts expect Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan's removal, which could ease antitrust scrutiny. Bank of America highlights that Republican administrations, like President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s, historically foster over 50% more financial sector M&amp;A activity compared to Democratic ones. 
Bank of America also predicts that 2025 could mark a better year for M&amp;A as rate cuts take effect and economic conditions stabilize.
