Zacks Equity Research
·2-min read

For the quarter ended March 2024, Expedia (EXPE) reported revenue of $2.89 billion, up 8.4% over the same period last year. EPS came in at $0.21, compared to -$0.20 in the year-ago quarter.

The reported revenue represents a surprise of +3.10% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.8 billion. With the consensus EPS estimate being -$0.37, the EPS surprise was +156.76%.

While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.

Since these metrics play a crucial role in driving the top- and bottom-line numbers, comparing them with the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated about them helps investors better project a stock's price performance.
