-6.83% open $284.01

A 6.8% intraday drop is an outsized single-session move for this travel name, and it lands the same day the company announced a landmark deal. Traders are reading that deal as a cost to the business.

Expedia fell through the session from an open of $284.01 to around $264.61, with sellers in control most of the day.

The slide coincides with the company announcing what it is calling a landmark deal, and traders are treating that transaction as a financial burden rather than a strategic win.

A nearly 7% single-session loss is a significant move for an established travel platform, reflecting a rapid repricing of near-term earnings expectations.

Whether the partial bounce off the intraday low holds or fades will offer the first real read on how seriously institutional investors take the deal concerns.

Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 9/29/26

Cramer says the 30-year Treasury yield is the highest in 24 years, with over 40% of S&P 500 names in a bear market
Public backlash against AI and data centers is the new narrative risk that could make October ugly
Goldman Sachs called the most beaten-down of a caller's bank ideas alongside Capital One and BNY Mellon
Interviews with Meta's Dina Powell McCormick on its AI agent Muse and BWX Technologies on its new long-term strategy

Cramer's message: public perception is now the AI trade's problem, and he thinks that plus long-end yields sets up a rough October. He still wants Goldman Sachs on weakness, calling it the most beaten-down of the bank names raised by a caller.
