Market price: $259.16

At a recent price of $259.16, Expedia Group, Inc. (EXPE) trades 49% below TickerWorth's blended fair value of $505.69 per share — a discounted-cash-flow model cross-checked against peer multiples and asset value — meaning the market currently prices EXPE undervalued vs our estimate of what the business is intrinsically worth. Our fair value sits above the market, an implied +95.1% move to close the gap if the business performs in line with our assumptions. This is an educational model, not a price target or a recommendation — the value moves with the inputs, which you can test yourself using the WACC slider below.

One of the lenses behind that blended figure is a discounted-cash-flow model, which on its own values EXPE at about $301.05 per share. The rest of this page walks through that DCF — its assumptions, reverse-DCF and discount-rate sensitivity — because it is the auditable anchor of the blend.

The valuation discounts Expedia Group, Inc.'s projected free cash flows at a weighted-average cost of capital (WACC) of 11.0%, with a long-run terminal growth rate of 2.5%. About 69% of the enterprise value comes from the terminal value — the portion beyond the explicit forecast window — which is typical for a stable, cash-generative business and a reminder that small changes in the discount rate or terminal growth assumption swing the intrinsic value meaningfully.

Running the DCF in reverse — solving for the growth the current price already assumes — the market is implying roughly 4.2% annual revenue growth for EXPE. Our base case instead compounds to about 6.9% a year over the same forecast, so the market is pricing in slower growth than our base case. The reverse-DCF is a quick sanity check: it reframes 'is this stock cheap?' as 'do I believe the growth the price requires?' rather than arguing over a single point estimate of fair value.

Sensitivity matters more than any single number. Across a reasonable band of discount-rate assumptions, EXPE's modeled DCF value ranges from about $237.52 to $416.46 per share. If that range still sits below today's price, the market is optimistic relative to the model across the whole band; if it brackets the price, the stock is roughly fairly valued on our assumptions. Use the interactive slider to see exactly where your own cost-of-capital view lands.

How to read this page: the DCF fair value is what Expedia Group, Inc. would be worth if its cash flows grow as modeled and are discounted at the stated WACC. The assumptions table shows every input and its source; the reverse-DCF shows what the market believes; the sensitivity band shows how fragile the answer is. None of this is investment advice — it is a transparent, auditable framework for forming your own view of EXPE's intrinsic value. Figures update as new filings and prices come in.

The assumptions behind EXPE's DCF

InputValueSource
Base-year revenue$14,733,000,000Expedia Group FY2025 10-K (accession 0001324424-26-000008, filed 2026-02-13): FY2025 revenue $14,733M, +7.6% on FY2024's $13,691M (FY2023 $12,839M). Quarterly: Q1 $2,988M, Q2 $3,786M, Q3 $4,412M, Q4 $3,547M — lodging revenue is recognized at the STAY, so Q3 is the peak. Revenue is Expedia's commissions and merchant margin; the $119.6B of gross bookings that flow through the platform are NOT revenue and are not modeled (revenue margin ~12.3% of gross bookings). Segments FY2025: B2C $9,474M, B2B $4,842M, trivago third-party $417M. CROSS-CHECK: H1 2026 revenue $7,741M, +14.3% on H1 2025's $6,774M (Q1 +14.7%, Q2 +14.0%; B2B +23% in Q2, B2C +8%). TTM to 2026-06-30 is $15,700M. UNCHANGED as the base — the new year belongs in the forecast.
Base EBIT margin12.7%Expedia Group FY2025 10-K (accession 0001324424-26-000008, filed 2026-02-13): GAAP operating income $1,871M / revenue $14,733M = 12.70% (FY2024 $1,319M = 9.6%; FY2023 $1,033M = 8.0%). It is AFTER $398M of stock-based compensation (2.7% of revenue), $887M of D&A (6.0%), $185M of 'legal reserves, occupancy tax and other' (of which $178M was the Italian short-term-rental withholding-tax matter, settled for $156M in Dec 2025) and $107M of restructuring. Company 'Adjusted EBITDA' was $3,501M (23.8%), which adds all of those back. CROSS-CHECK: H1 2026 GAAP operating income $1,051M / $7,741M = 13.6% against 6.1% in H1 2025 — the first half is seasonally thin because marketing is spent at booking and revenue lands at the stay. TTM to 2026-06-30: $2,507M / $15,700M = 16.0%. H1 2026 is flattered by a $58M legal-reserve RELEASE; ex that, 12.8%.
Forecast revenue growth10% → 7% → 6% → 6% → 6%Assumption — TickerWorth's 5-year explicit forecast
Risk-free rate5.2%US 10Y Treasury constant maturity (FRED DGS10): 5.24% on 2026-10-01, the latest published observation. House input shared by every model in this tracker.
Beta1.36Yahoo Finance / yfinance published beta (5Y monthly): Published 5Y-monthly beta 1.362, used UNCHANGED. Travel is genuinely more sensitive to the economy than the average company, and EXPE has shown it this quarter: +7% on 27 Jul, -8% on 8 Sep, -7.7% on 23 Sep. The 60-month window now starts in late 2021 and excludes the 2020 pandemic collapse, so it is not inflated by that. For comparison yfinance shows Booking 1.13 and Airbnb 1.24. Each 0.1 of beta is worth ~$16/share here; using Booking's 1.13 would add ~$41.
Terminal growth2.5%Assumption — house default: House default 2.5% (roughly long-run nominal GDP), kept for comparability. The step from 5.5% in 2030 is moderate for a mature online travel agency; global travel spending has historically grown somewhat faster than GDP, so this leans conservative. A 3.0% terminal rate adds ~$14/share. Must remain < WACC of ~11.0%.
Diluted shares123MExpedia Group Q2 2026 10-Q (accession 0001324424-26-000053, filed 2026-08-06): Q2 2026 weighted-average diluted shares 122,552K (H1 2026: 123,763K; FY2025: 131,943K; FY2024: 137,919K). Includes BOTH classes — 114.5M common and 5.5M Class B (10 votes each, held by Barry Diller-controlled entities) — plus 2.3M of stock awards. Falling fast: Expedia bought back $1.9B of stock in FY2025 and $1.06B in H1 2026, and the convertible notes that added 3.9M shares to the FY2025 count were settled in cash in February 2026. Shares bought back after June (none disclosed yet) would lift the per-share value slightly.
