On March 27, Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google introduced several new features across <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/google" rel="noreferrer noopener">Search, Maps, and Gemini</a> to enhance vacation planning, BofA Securities noted Monday.
In Search, users can generate detailed travel itineraries with AI Overviews, which can be saved as custom lists in Google Maps.
Google has also expanded hotel price tracking globally, letting users know when rates change.

A new screenshot-powered feature on Google Maps uses Gemini AI to identify places saved through screenshots, enabling users to organize and visualize their travel ideas.
Additionally, Google has made Gemini&#8217;s Gems feature available to all users for free. Gems allows users to create personalized AI assistants tailored to specific tasks within Gemini.
Travel is a critical vertical for Google, as it drives high-intent searches across hotels and flights, implying categories with strong monetization.
The new AI features can drive incremental queries on Google&#8217;s platform by engaging users earlier in decision-making.
The analyst noted that rather than transactional keywords like &#8220;cheap flights to Paris,&#8221; users can ask broader questions such as &#8220;suggest scenic road trip routes in California.&#8221; This will extend the volume and diversity of search queries, allowing Google to deliver more relevant results and target more high-value commercial content.
The analyst noted that the integrations also improve Google&#8217;s ability to compete with emerging AI search platforms (such as ChatGPT and Perplexity), which have been improving travel planning capabilities.
Perplexity has partnered with Selfbook and TripAdvisor, Inc to enable users to book hotel reservations. The booking tool could have discounts for Pro users, and the company has suggested air and rental car booking tools could follow. TripAdvisor will provide information on reviews and experiences to help travelers make choices.
The analyst noted that AI companies are, again, partnering with travel aggregators over suppliers OTAs (Online Travel Agencies) (Expedia Group, Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/expe#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>) at 3 million) but are looking to expand rapidly.
The analyst said Gemini could partner with OTAs if the company pursues agentic AI tools this year. Google&#8217;s itinerary creation capabilities and Perplexity&#8217;s AI booking tools will also be built and offered by OTAs (including Booking and Expedia).
The OTAs can leverage their travel and customer data to offer competitive AI services, while their loyalty programs (unique discounts and points) could be competitive advantages.
For Airbnb, Inc., the company must best leverage its unique proprietary inventory, a key asset in an evolving AI world.
Price Action: GOOGL stock is down 0.64% at $153.34 at the last check on Monday.

Expedia Group's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NYSE">EXPE</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.01% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 6.00 million shares sold short, which is 5.63% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.17 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Expedia Group Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1742217325_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Expedia Group has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Expedia Group's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Expedia Group's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.06%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Truist Securities Maintains Hold on Expedia Group, Raises Price Target to $175

The travel industry has experienced unexpected turbulence, which is rattling travel-focused ETFs. As airlines lower revenue forecasts, booking platforms struggle, and hotels and cruise lines see declining stock prices, investors in travel ETFs are watching their portfolios slip. If you've been tracking this sector, here are three ETFs feeling the pressure.
1. U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>)
The U.S. Global Jets ETF is the go-to ETF for airline exposure, holding major carriers like Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), American Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NYSE">AAL</a>), and Southwest Airlines (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NASDAQ">LUV</a>). With Delta and American Airlines slashing their revenue forecasts due to weak demand, JETS has been on a downward trajectory. Delta's warning about slowing corporate and leisure travel has only fueled concerns that the airline industry is facing a rough road ahead. The ETF is down 16% in the past month.
2. ETFMG Travel Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AWAY#NYSE">AWAY</a>)
The ETFMG Travel Tech ETF tracks online travel and booking companies like Expedia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>), Booking Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKNG#NASDAQ">BKNG</a>), and Airbnb (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>). Expedia was one of the worst performers in the S&amp;P 500 this week, tumbling 8% after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/03/44237055/delta-air-lines-cuts-q1-guidance-below-estimates-airline-stocks-fall">major airlines cut earnings forecasts</a>. Meanwhile, Airbnb dropped more than 6% as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44257583/whats-going-on-with-airbnb-abnb-shares">investors worried </a>that consumers tightening their budgets would impact short-term rental demand. The ETF is down 9% in the past month.

3. Invesco Dynamic Leisure and Entertainment ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEJ#NYSE">PEJ</a>)
The Invesco Dynamic Leisure and Entertainment ETF covers a broader range of travel-related stocks, including hotels, cruise lines, and entertainment companies. Unfortunately, hotel stocks like Marriott (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAR#NASDAQ">MAR</a>), Hilton (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLT#NYSE">HLT</a>), and Hyatt (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/H#NYSE">H</a>) have been under pressure, while cruise operators like Norwegian Cruise Line (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>), Carnival (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>), and Viking Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VIK#NYSE">VIK</a>) have also been trading lower. Since PEJ is heavily tied to consumer discretionary spending, the slowdown in travel sentiment has affected it. The ETF price has fallen 14% in the past month.

What&#8217;s Driving Travel Stock Slump?
Broader market pressures are weighing on travel stocks. The British benchmark FTSE 100 recently hit its lowest level in nearly two months, driven by declines in travel and leisure stocks. British Airways owner IAG dropped 6.1% after Delta&#8217;s warning, and overall, the travel sector in the UK fell by 3.1%.
Even geopolitical factors are playing a role. Volatility sparked by U.S. tariff policies, including increased duties on steel and aluminum imports, has added to market jitters. While the UK government has chosen not to retaliate, the uncertainty surrounding trade policies has only made things worse for already struggling travel stocks.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Expedia Group Stock In The Last 15 Years

Expedia Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>) shares are trading lower by 7.6% to $163.14 during Tuesday's session. The decline comes amid a broader sell-off in travel-related stocks following Delta Air Lines Inc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/03/44237055/delta-air-lines-cuts-q1-guidance-below-estimates-airline-stocks-fall">reduced revenue and profit guidance.</a>
Delta's warning about softening travel demand has raised concerns across the industry, pressuring Expedia's stock as well. Additionally,&nbsp;American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) cut its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44257044/whats-going-on-with-american-airlines-stock-today">first-quarter adjusted EPS outlook</a>.
What To Know: Expedia, a leading online travel agency, is highly sensitive to fluctuations in travel demand. The company generates revenue primarily from booking commissions, hotel reservations, and vacation packages.

A slowdown in consumer travel spending, as suggested by Delta and American Airlines&#8217; revised outlooks, could weigh on Expedia's future earnings.
Expedia's business model relies heavily on both leisure and business travel. Delta's report of declining corporate and leisure travel suggests that fewer consumers may be booking flights and hotels, directly impacting Expedia's platform. 
The company's dependence on strong seasonal travel trends also means any prolonged weakness in consumer sentiment could dampen revenue growth.
A broader downturn in discretionary spending could further pressure bookings, raising concerns about the company's ability to sustain growth in a weakening travel environment.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy EXPE Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Expedia Group&#8217;s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, EXPE has a 52-week high of $207.73 and a 52-week low of $107.27.
