Cove Street Capital made the following comment about Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:LTRPA) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:
“Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:LTRPA) is simply another presently unsuccessful holding pen for a Liberty holding – in TripAdvisor (Ticker: LTRPA). While travel at large is on an upswing, it is coming back from a solid Covid hole. In the meantime, LTRPA has a new CEO who replaced the founder – it will be difficult for him to be worse. They have also changed their reporting making it fairly obvious how profitable the core TRIP is…and how fast growing and unprofitable their other ventures are in “Experiences” and “Dining” – both of which are leaders in their respective fields. We expect an Analyst Day and a strategic plan in 2023, which has reasonable probability of attracting new investors. This security is effectively leveraged exposure to TRIP – we can get the same oomph from 1.5% of the portfolio in this as 5% in LTRPA.”
