Winston Score History

The full picture

Expedia Group runs a collection of online travel websites that help people book flights, hotels, rental cars, and vacation packages. Its most well-known brands include Expedia, Hotels.com, Vrbo (for vacation home rentals), and Orbitz. The company serves everyday travelers as well as business travelers, and it competes in the online travel agency industry alongside rivals like Booking Holdings.

Expedia makes money by charging hotels, airlines, and other travel suppliers a commission or fee each time a customer books through one of its platforms. It operates globally but generates most of its revenue in the United States and Europe, and its wide portfolio of brands gives it broad reach across different types of travelers. The company's main competitive advantage is its large inventory of travel options and its loyalty programs, which encourage repeat bookings. The biggest ongoing risk is heavy dependence on Google for search traffic, since changes to Google's search algorithms or ad pricing can significantly affect how many customers find Expedia's sites.

Growth + cash flow

Expedia Group is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 14%. The Winston Score doesn't fully credit this transition from "burner" to "earner."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
