Expedia Soars 5.48% on Strong B2B and International Growth Ranks 212th in 490M Trading Volume

On August 12, 2025, Expedia (EXPE) surged 5.48% with a trading volume of $0.49 billion, ranking 212th in the day’s market activity. The stock’s rise followed the release of second-quarter earnings, where the company exceeded revenue estimates despite trailing on EPS. Analysts highlighted strength in B2B and international segments as key drivers, offsetting weaker U.S. travel demand.

Expedia revised its 2025 guidance upward, citing improved booking trends and cost discipline. The firm also announced a $0.40 per-share dividend, signaling confidence in its cash flow. Recent updates from Zacks and Simply Wall St. noted that the stock’s performance outpaced the broader travel sector, with B2B growth and platform upgrades cited as catalysts for cautious optimism among investors.

A backtested strategy of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily volume and holding for one day yielded a $2,340 profit from 2022 to the present. However, the approach faced a maximum drawdown of -15.3% on October 27, 2022, underscoring its inherent risks despite short-term gains.
