Tripadvisor, Inc. (TRIP) Q2 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

TripAdvisor (TRIP - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.35 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.42 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.46 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -16.67%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this travel website operator would post a loss of $0.03 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.11, delivering a surprise of -266.67%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.

TripAdvisor, which belongs to the Zacks Internet - Commerce industry, posted revenues of $441.9 million for the quarter ended June 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 13.12%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $529 million. The company has not been able to beat consensus revenue estimates over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

TripAdvisor shares have lost about 3.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.8%.

What's Next for TripAdvisor?While TripAdvisor has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for TripAdvisor was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.83 on $566.55 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.40 on $1.89 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Internet - Commerce is currently in the bottom 37% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Another stock from the broader Zacks Retail-Wholesale sector, Burlington Stores (BURL - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended July 2026.

This discount retailer is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.17 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +36.5%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Burlington Stores' revenues are expected to be $3.02 billion, up 11.8% from the year-ago quarter.

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

TripAdvisor is now a simplified, cash-rich company post-TheFork sale, with activist-driven board control and clear catalysts ahead. Viator, TRIP's growth engine, is a global tours marketplace with $924M FY25 revenue and substantial digital penetration runway. The legacy Hotels segment is declining rapidly but remains a cash generator, with potential offset from AI data licensing deals.

Tripadvisor Inc (NASDAQ:TRIP) has agreed to sell its European restaurant reservations platform TheFork to American Express for $700 million in cash, a move that Jefferies says simplifies the company’s structure but does not fully offset longer-term pressure in its core business.

The deal, which Jefferies noted had been widely anticipated following Tripadvisor’s earlier indication that it was exploring strategic alternatives for TheFork, is expected to close before the end of fiscal 2026. The net proceeds are expected to be broadly in line with the gross sale price. Tripadvisor said it may deploy the capital toward share repurchases, debt reduction, or acquisitions in its Experiences segment.

Jefferies raised its price target on Tripadvisor to $11 from $8.50, citing a higher-than-expected valuation for TheFork in the transaction. Shares traded hands at about $12.50 on Tuesday afternoon.

The broker estimates the sale price implies roughly 2.5x 2027 estimated revenue and about 19x 2027 EBITDA, representing a premium to typical small- and mid-cap internet sector valuations.

Under a sum-of-the-parts framework, Jefferies now assigns approximately $4 per share of value to TheFork, $4 to Viator, and about $3 to the Hotels business, which remains the company’s largest segment.

Despite the higher valuation, Jefferies maintained an ‘Underperform’ rating on the stock, pointing to what it describes as a weakening profit trajectory in Tripadvisor’s remaining operations. The firm expects ongoing declines in the Hotels business to weigh on consolidated growth, partially offset by continued expansion in Viator, the company’s experiences marketplace.

Jefferies forecasts a mid-single-digit decline in Tripadvisor’s pro forma EBITDA through 2028, citing a projected roughly 20% annual decline in Hotels EBITDA alongside approximately 25% annual growth in Experiences EBITDA.

It also flagged risk around the company’s fiscal 2026 outlook, which it says implies a significant second-half ramp in revenue and profitability.

It also flagged risk around the company’s fiscal 2026 outlook, which it says implies a significant second-half ramp in revenue and profitability.

Tripadvisor TRIP shares are climbing following its agreement to sell TheFork to American Express AXP for $700 million in an all-cash deal. This transaction allows TRIP to realize value from a non-core asset while enhancing its balance sheet and capital allocation flexibility. The sale comes after TRIP's decision in February to explore strategic options for TheFork, enabling management to concentrate on its Experiences segment. However, the deal is not expected to finalize until late 2026 and is subject to labor consultations and regulatory approvals.

Asset Value: As of Q1 2026, TheFork reported $232 million in last-twelve-month revenue and an adjusted EBITDA of $28 million, reflecting a valuation of approximately 3.0x revenue and about 25x adjusted EBITDA, which is favorable for a low-margin asset. Tax Treatment: TRIP anticipates that net proceeds will closely match gross proceeds due to minimal tax leakage, enhancing the significance of the $700 million cash influx for potential capital returns or strategic reinvestments. Capital Deployment: Management indicated that the proceeds could be used for share buybacks, debt reduction, or investments in Experiences, with buybacks being the most immediately beneficial option if core performance remains inconsistent. Strategic Reset: This sale allows TRIP to focus on Experiences and Viator, although this segment must demonstrate operational leverage after an 8% revenue increase in Q1, which still resulted in negative adjusted EBITDA. Recent Performance: The sale supports a portfolio simplification strategy in light of disappointing Q1 results, which included an EPS miss and slightly lower revenue, raising concerns about execution in the remaining business. AXP Rationale: For AXP, acquiring TheFork adds over 50,000 restaurants across 11 European countries, expanding its bookable dining network to around 75,000 venues and enhancing its premium dining, travel, and international cardmember ecosystem. Shareholder Pressure: This deal also responds to investor demands to unlock value from non-core assets, particularly from Starboard Value, which had previously advocated for the sale of TheFork. The TRIP/AXP transaction simplifies the narrative from a complex travel portfolio to a streamlined focus on Experiences, Viator, and capital deployment. For TRIP, the monetization of TheFork at a healthy multiple, coupled with minimal tax implications, opens up options for share buybacks, debt reduction, or targeted investments in Experiences. However, this sale alone does not resolve the ongoing challenges in core operations, as the remaining business still needs to achieve consistent revenue, improve margins, and demonstrate that Experiences can scale profitably. For AXP, this acquisition aligns with its strategy to enhance cardmember engagement through dining, travel, and premium lifestyle benefits while expanding its restaurant network and international reach. Key indicators to monitor include TRIP's commitment to shareholder-friendly proceeds utilization, timely transaction closure, and the ability of a more focused portfolio to enhance execution and shareholder value.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--American Express (NYSE: AXP) today announced a proposed acquisition of TheFork, a leading online restaurant reservation and management platform in Europe, from Tripadvisor, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRIP), growing its dining offering in the region.

Dining is one of the most important ways people engage with our brand

Share TheFork connects millions of diners with more than 50,000 restaurants across 11 European countries through its restaurant management, booking and customer engagement platform, alongside a consumer-facing restaurant discovery and reservation app and website.

The proposed acquisition builds on American Express’ broader dining strategy and its successful acquisitions of digital dining platforms Resy and Tock. Together, these platforms are expected to expand American Express’ dining network to 75,000 bookable venues1.

With the proposed acquisition of TheFork, American Express would grow its dining offerings in Europe and strengthen its ability to provide access for Card Members and diners to sought-after restaurants, while supporting the continued growth of its international business, a major driver of the company’s overall growth.

“Dining is one of the most important ways people engage with our brand,” said Rafa Marquez, President of International Card Services at American Express. “Over time, the proposed acquisition would help us enrich our differentiated Membership Model by offering Card Members more ways to discover, book and access great restaurants, while helping our partners reach more diners and grow their businesses. TheFork has built a successful platform across Europe with strong relationships throughout the restaurant industry that would complement our existing capabilities. We look forward to supporting TheFork’s continued growth and building on its success as we strengthen our dining presence across Europe.”

"TheFork was created to help restaurants thrive and to make it easier for diners to discover and enjoy great restaurants,” said Almir Ambeskovic, Chief Executive Officer of TheFork. “With Tripadvisor's support, we've built one of Europe's leading dining platforms. American Express shares our commitment to innovation, service and hospitality. Together, we have a unique opportunity to accelerate our mission, bringing even more value to restaurants while creating richer and more seamless experiences for millions of diners across Europe."

Founded in 2007, TheFork provides restaurants with reservation management, guest engagement and operational tools designed to help restaurants optimize their businesses while delivering a seamless discovery and booking experience for diners.

Following the closing of the potential transaction, TheFork would continue to operate under its existing leadership team while benefiting from the global reach and powerful backing of American Express.

The proposed transaction is expected to close before the end of 2026, subject to labor consultation and customary conditions, including regulatory approvals. Under the terms of the proposal, American Express will acquire TheFork from Tripadvisor for $700 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments.

Here is how TripAdvisor performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:

Revenue- TheFork: $57.3 million versus $56.07 million estimated by three analysts on average.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - May 7, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Trip.com Group Limited (NASDAQ: TCOM) between April 30, 2024 and January 13, 2026, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important May 11, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action first filed by the Firm.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Trip.com securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Trip.com class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=50668 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than May 11, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) defendants recklessly understated the regulatory risk facing Trip.com as a result of its monopolistic business activities; and (2) as a result, defendants' statements about Trip.com's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Trip.com class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=50668 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Its scalable digital platform and diversified revenue streams position it as a key player in the online travel and experiences sector. Tripadvisor’s strategic focus on content, technology, and global reach supports its competitive position in a dynamic and evolving industry.

What this transaction means for investorsWith Tripadvisor’s stock badly lagging over the past year, this move signals confidence that investors may be overly focused on the company’s struggling legacy hotel segment while underestimating faster-growing assets like Viator and TheFork.

Tripadvisor’s latest earnings, reported last week, showed a business in transition. First-quarter revenue fell 4% year over year to $382.4 million, but its Experiences segment grew 8% to $167.9 million, while gross booking value climbed 13% to roughly $1.2 billion. TheFork also posted 23% revenue growth and swung to positive adjusted EBITDA. The bad segment? Hotels, which saw revenue fall 20% to $157.9 million.

Meanwhile, Tripadvisor ended the quarter with roughly $1.1 billion in cash and generated $101.3 million in free cash flow. Management is also restructuring the business around what it calls an “experiences-led and AI-enabled” strategy.

With these developments, long-term investors should pay attention to whether Tripadvisor can successfully pivot away from its slower-growth hotel roots before competitive pressure and weaker margins erode the upside from Experiences.

Operating exclusively in the Raja Ampat archipelago of West Papua - the global epicenter of marine biodiversity within the Coral Triangle - Luxury Raja Ampat specialises in luxury phinisi charters, raja ampat private yacht charter expeditions, liveaboard diving voyages, and bespoke private cruises. The company's curated luxury raja ampat liveaboard programs serve HNWI clients from Europe, North America, Australia, and Asia drawn by the region's 75% concentration of all known coral species and 1,600+ documented reef fish species across more than 1,500 islands.

"Reaching 800 voyages in Raja Ampat is the accumulated result of trust earned one charter at a time, not a marketing milestone," said Agung Afif, Founder of Juara Holding Group. "The Forbes Business Council membership is an international recognition that adds visibility, but our daily measure remains the HNWI guests who return for their second, third, and fourth voyages across our marine and concierge brands."

Sister Brand Komodo Luxury Strengthens Group's Marine Authority

Operating alongside Luxury Raja Ampat within the Juara Holding Group is Komodo Luxury - a four-time TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice award winner for Komodo National Park (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025). Headquartered in Bali with operational bases in Labuan Bajo, the gateway to Komodo National Park, Komodo Luxury owns and operates a growing fleet of ultra-luxury yachts offering private yacht charters, premium komodo phinisi cabin cruises, and bespoke sailing expeditions. The company also provides yacht investment and professional yacht management services for international owners seeking to enter Indonesia's expanding luxury komodo yacht charter market, with charter routes spanning Labuan Bajo to Padar, Komodo, Rinca, Pink Beach, and the Banda Sea periphery.

The two marine brands together cover Indonesia's two most internationally recognised luxury yacht destinations - Raja Ampat in the east and Komodo National Park in the west - representing a combined decade-plus of regional expertise and over 800 documented voyages for HNWI travellers from 45+ countries. Both operate under unified group standards for experienced captains, trained crew, curated routes, and concierge-level service across English, French, German, Mandarin, and Bahasa-speaking traveller segments.

Bali Premium Trip Completes the End-to-End Luxury Travel Network

Most international travellers reach Raja Ampat and Komodo via Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), connecting onward to Sorong or Labuan Bajo. To deliver an end-to-end luxury journey, Juara Holding Group includes Bali Premium Trip - a luxury travel concierge with 10+ years experience trusted by international travelers, honeymooners, families, and VIP guests. The company coordinates luxury car rental Bali, VIP airport fast-track immigration, helicopter transfers, villa accommodation, wedding logistics, visa concierge, private medical concierge, and 24/7 lifestyle support - ensuring every moment from arrival to departure is seamless, refined, and truly exceptional.

This vertically integrated travel network - combining luxury marine charter, luxury Bali travel agency concierge services, premium ground transportation, villa and wellness coordination, and media production under a single Indonesian holding - positions Juara Holding Group as one of the few end-to-end Indonesian-owned luxury hospitality networks operating across both marine and ground verticals from a single coordinated portfolio.

Forbes Business Council Membership Adds International Credential

The Forbes Business Council membership accepted by Agung Afif in March 2026 followed an invitation-only vetting process recognising successful business owners and leaders worldwide. The credential adds international visibility to a portfolio that has built recognition through four consecutive TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice awards and a decade of operational continuity in sensitive Indonesian destinations.

Yacht Investment and Management Open B2B Vertical

Beyond direct charter operations, Komodo Luxury operates a B2B yacht investment advisory and professional yacht management vertical, serving international owners entering Indonesia's expanding luxury charter market. The service spans fleet deployment, crewing, regulatory compliance, charter revenue optimisation, and routine vessel management.

Conservation Standards Across Sensitive Marine Ecosystems

Luxury Raja Ampat's 800-voyage milestone arrives as Indonesia's luxury tourism sector posts continued double-digit growth in HNWI arrivals to Eastern Indonesia. UNESCO ecological significance has shaped protocols across both marine brands, including coral-safe anchoring, no-touch dive policies, certified mooring usage, and partnerships with regional conservation authorities. Komodo Luxury operates parallel protocols consistent with Komodo National Park's UNESCO World Heritage status, including visitor capacity coordination with the Komodo National Park Authority.

Investors in Tripadvisor, Inc. (TRIP - Free Report) need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the June 18, 2026 $5.00 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.

What is Implied Volatility?Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.

What do the Analysts Think?Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Tripadvisor shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Tripadvisor is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) in the Internet - Commerce industry that ranks in the Bottom 40% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, no analysts have increased their earnings estimates for the current quarter, while three analysts have revised their estimates downward. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 56 cents per share to 42 cents in that period.

Given the way analysts feel about Tripadvisor right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.
