Expedia Group Inc. (NASDAQ:EXPE) ranks among the best magic formula stocks to invest in. On July 11, Bank of America analyst Justin Post maintained his Buy rating on Expedia Group Inc. (NASDAQ:EXPE), citing a $211 price target. Given its substantial exposure to US points of sale, the analyst believes Expedia Group Inc. (NASDAQ:EXPE) is well-positioned to profit from any revival in this industry, though the second quarter for US travel was challenging.

In order to sustain its EBITDA margins, which are expected to rise year-over-year, the company has taken steps to reduce expenses. Additionally, given its discounted multiples concerning its projected earnings and cash flows, Expedia’s valuation seems appealing.

The arrival of new airline partners such as Ryanair and Southwest are also expected to support gains in market share. Furthermore, EPS growth may be fueled by significant free cash flow and possible share buybacks.

Expedia Group Inc. (NASDAQ:EXPE) is a US and international online travel company. The company is divided into B2C, B2B, and Trivago sectors.
