Notably, the stock has a market cap of $22.94 billion.Key FactorsThe rally in the stock can be attributed to Expedia’s positive guidance and improving loss figure. Management expects EBITDA growth rate including the ramp-up in cloud spending for full-year 2017 to be in the range of 10% to 15%. Excluding cloud expenses, it is expected to be in the range of 14% to 19%.Additionally, management trimmed the capital expenditure (CapEx) forecast a bit. It expects CapEx excluding cost related to its headquarters project to be down year over year. Depreciation expense is expected to rise in the mid-20% range. However, the rate of increase will decelerate from the first quarter through the end of the year.Expedia’s narrower-than-expected first quarter loss and 15% year-on-year revenue growth are also positives. The company’s impressive first-quarter results backed the share price momentum.However, we note that the company has underperformed the Zacks Electronics Commerce Market on a year-to-date basis.
