Did EXPE Beat Earnings? Q2 2026 Results
Expedia Group posted a standout second quarter for fiscal 2026, beating Wall Street expectations on both the top and bottom lines as resilient travel demand and a surging B2B business propelled results well ahead of estimates. Adjusted EPS came in at $5.76, clearing the $5.25 consensus by 9.65% and extending the company's streak of beating EPS estimates to six consecutive quarters. Revenue of $4.32 billion topped the $4.17 billion consensus by 3.41% and climbed 14.0% year-over-year, with B2B segment growth of 23% serving as the single most powerful engine behind the outperformance. Total Gross Bookings reached $33.93 billion, up 12%, while Adjusted EBITDA expanded 23% to $1.12 billion, pushing margins up nearly two full points. Buoyed by the momentum, management raised its full-year 2026 revenue outlook to $16.05 billion to $16.22 billion, representing growth of 9% to 10%, and lifted its Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion target to 1.5 to 1.75 points, signaling continued confidence that consumers are prioritizing travel despite elevated prices.
