Risk: A solid way to gauge risk with Expedia is by checking how much it fell in past crises. During the Global Financial Crisis, it dropped about 83%. The 2018 correction saw a pullback near 39%, while the Covid pandemic wiped out roughly 63%. Even the inflation shock in 2022 hit it for around 61%. So, despite Expedia’s strengths, sharp market sell-offs still take a heavy toll. Downturns don’t discriminate much, even on well-positioned stocks.
EXPE stock may have seen strong gains recently, but investing in a single stock without detailed, thorough analysis can be risky. The Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio, with a collection of 30 stocks, has a track record of comfortably outperforming its benchmark that includes all 3 — the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 indices. Why is that? As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks provided better returns with less risk versus the benchmark index; less of a roller-coaster ride, as evident in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.
