Tripadvisor (TRIP) Stock

NEEDHAM, Mass. , Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Tripadvisor, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRIP) announced today that Mike Noonan, CFO, will host investor meetings at the UBS Global Technology Conference on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Investors looking for stocks in the Internet - Commerce sector might want to consider either TripAdvisor (TRIP) or Coupang, Inc. (CPNG). But which of these two stocks presents investors with the better value opportunity right now?

I maintain a Strong Buy recommendation for Tripadvisor (TRIP) due to Viator's growth, a strong balance sheet, and potential strategic acquisitions. Viator's revenue and profitability trends are positive, with Q3 2024 marking the first time Viator's revenues have exceeded those of the legacy Tripadvisor segment. Despite a disappointing Q3 2024, management's optimistic outlook for Viator and TheFork segments bodes well for upcoming quarters.

TripAdvisor's stock plummeted after actively seeking a sale but failed to find a buyer, highlighting the market's (duly) skepticism about its competitive edge. Valuation challenges arise as profitable segments aren't growing and growing segments aren't profitable. TRIP is outcompeted by large competitors that enjoy network effects better. Its user-generated content is also challenged by AI tools and social media.

Financial results from a rival could presage a pleasantly surprising quarter for Tripadvisor.

Safety, Community and Cultural Representation Drive Decision-Making NEW YORK , Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Tripadvisor and Group Black today unveiled their "Black Travel Today" report, a comprehensive study exploring the unique travel preferences, behaviors, and considerations of Black travelers in the US. The findings reveal the importance of safety, community, and cultural representation in shaping travel decisions and provide valuable insights for brands and destinations aiming to attract and serve this growing and important group of travelers.

Shares of TripAdvisor are ripe for a turnaround after a ~30% decline this year, owing to decelerating travel spending. Despite bookings challenges at its main website, the company's Viator and TheFork brands continue to generate double-digit revenue growth. The company still benefits from secular tailwinds supporting higher spending on experiences, especially powering bookings at Viator.
