Expedia Group, Inc. (EXPE) on Decifer

Decifer ranks EXPE number 136 of 270 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

• It earns strong returns on the money it puts to work, around 19% and those returns have been improving and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is growing about 8% a year, profits grew 10% over the past year, and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
• It keeps a high share of every sale as profit, and that has stayed steady over the years, a sign of real pricing power, with profitability widening as it grows.
• It is riding an active market tailwind and has the balance sheet to fund its growth.
• It is not watering down its owners with new shares and it returns cash to shareholders.
• It trades about 17% above similar companies, and its growth does not yet back up that price.
• Solid returns of 19% are offset by revenue growing only 8% a year and no worldview reason to grow, leaving it without a catalyst.
