Company Report

Expedia Seeing Early Signs of Financial Benefit From Investments Behind Its Platform

Expedia's migration to a unified platform during 2020-23, which shares data, supply and loyalty (OneKey) across its brands, versus having it in a siloed structure previously, stands to support its network advantage, the source of its narrow moat. Evidence of this was the 500-basis-point improvement in mobile app direct booking mix in the second quarter, showing that the platform is resonating with travelers.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Expedia has a network effect that we think only a few can enjoy, and recent investments to unify its platform and acquisitions stand to add to the company's platform advantage.

Bears

Google continues to siphon free organic traffic in favor of its own platform, causing incremental marketing costs for Expedia.
