Expedia's Power Level Over 9000... Points Lower! Goku's Market Musings!

Kamehame HA No No! Expedia's Not So Super Start

Hey everyone it's Goku! I just heard some scuttlebutt about this company called Expedia. Apparently some folks at Piper Sandler think their power level is… well let’s just say it's not over 9000! They downgraded the stock. Downgraded! Sounds serious like when Frieza showed up on Namek. This Thomas Champion guy he even lowered the expected price. Now I'm no Piccolo when it comes to finance but even I know that's not good. They say the stock might drop 20%! Ouch! That's gotta hurt more than a Super Saiyan 3 transformation for the first time!

Earnings Exceeded Expectations? A Saiyan's Appetite!

So Expedia had mixed results in the first quarter. Their earnings – that's like their food intake right? – were better than expected. Like me after a good training session. But their revenue? Not so much. It was a bit below what everyone thought. It's like when I think I'm about to eat a whole buffet but then Chi Chi only makes me a small bowl of rice. Disappointing! And get this they even lowered their expectations for next year. What?! It's like saying I won't be able to go Super Saiyan Blue anymore!

Trouble in the Travel Time Chamber?

This analyst guy Champion said something about the travel business in the U.S. not doing so great and the B2C thing being “discouraging.” Sounds like facing Cell after a long nap. He thinks things could get worse too! And that Expedia’s focus on the U.S. makes them vulnerable if people stop traveling. I mean if people stopped traveling where would I go to find good fights?! Oh no I hope people won't stop flying. I need to find strong opponents!

Canada's Travel Power Down! Minus 30!

Apparently travel to the U.S. is down 7% and travel from Canada is down a whopping 30%! That’s like Krillin trying to take on Majin Buu – just not gonna work! Champion (again!) thinks this means Expedia is in trouble because remember they focus on the U.S. A lot. They're really banking on things to improve to meet their expectations but he sounds worried about that. I hate it when people are worried!

Down Goes the Stock! KAIO KEN!

The stock price went down 10% after the news came out. Ten percent! That’s like losing a sparring match to Gohan when he was just a kid! It's down about 9% for the year. Some analysts still think it’s a good buy but a lot are just holding on. It's like waiting for me to finally charge up that Spirit Bomb – takes forever!

So Should You Train with Expedia? (Maybe Not Yet!)

So what does this all mean? Well I’m just a Saiyan who likes to fight but even I can see this Expedia thing is a bit shaky right now. It's like they need to go into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and train harder. Or maybe just find a Senzu Bean or two. Either way I'm gonna stick to fighting strong guys for now. This stock market stuff is more confusing than trying to explain Ultra Instinct to Yamcha!
