Why Did Trivago Plunge 17.65% Despite 17% Revenue Growth?

Trivago's stock price plummeted by 17.65% in pre-market trading on August 6, 2025, marking a significant decline for the travel search platform.

Trivago reported a 17% year-over-year revenue growth in the second quarter of 2025, driven by an 18% increase in referral revenue. The company's total revenue reached €139.3 million, with referral revenue accounting for €138.5 million. This growth was attributed to strategic initiatives and improved guidance, despite financial performance challenges.

Despite the revenue growth, Trivago reported a net loss of €6.5 million for the second quarter. However, the Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to €5.1 million. The company remains optimistic about maintaining robust double-digit revenue growth in the third quarter and aims to achieve a positive Adjusted EBITDA by the end of the year.

GuruFocus's GF Value metric suggests a potential upside of 28.79% from the current trading price, indicating a fair market value of $6.24 in one year.
