While Wall Street analysts' assessment of a publicly traded enterprise shouldn't be considered the absolute truth, their collective voices and influence certainly force investors to pause for thought. That's the present situation travel technology firm Expedia Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>) finds itself in, ahead of next Thursday's first-quarter earnings disclosure.
Not surprisingly, several <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45045797/piper-sandler-maintains-neutral-on-expedia-group-lowers-price-target-to-174">analysts have weighed in</a> on the matter, with many maintaining a Neutral or Equal-Weight rating. Even more telling, on April 28, experts at UBS and Piper Sandler reduced their price target on EXPE stock, with the former dropping expectations to $170 from $194, and the latter lowering it to $174 from $210. Also, on April 17, Morgan Stanley reduced its price target to $150 from $190.
During the midweek session, investors learned that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/45098824/tariffs-hit-hard-as-us-economy-shrinks-for-first-time-since-2022">U.S. economy contracted in the first quarter</a> of this year, representing the first negative growth reading since the second quarter of 2022. Naturally, the key catalyst underpinning the latest data was President Donald Trump's tariffs, which sent shockwaves <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">through multiple sectors</a>.
Despite the ominous signals, smart money — as reflected by unusual options activity — apparently sees a much more positive outcome. Through sweep transactions (which are effectively institutional market orders emphasizing speed over other concerns), traders on a net basis either sold puts or put credit spreads.
To be sure, the transactions are mostly credit based, which means traders are underwriting the risk that a desired outcome on the debit side will not materialize. That's not a directly bullish thesis, per se. However, the risk of eating big losses either through the assignment of naked puts or the tail risk of rotten credit spreads makes deployment of such strategies irrational if one believes EXPE stock will plunge.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Using The Russian Philosophy Of Analytics To Decipher EXPE Stock</h2>
In many ways, the Russians laid the <a href="https://www.usu.edu/math/schneit/StatsHistory/Probabilists/Kolmogorov">groundwork</a> for modern probability theory. During the era of the Soviet Union, a sense of simple pragmatism set the tone and application for the discipline. In part, the underlying simplicity stemmed from innovation out of necessity. Soviet mathematicians often worked under resource-constrained environments, leading to axiomatic yet utilitarian deductions.
Stated differently, the Russian philosophy of analytics tends to focus on root issues: events, transitions and repeatable behaviors. Such an approach offers powerful applications to modern equity market dynamics, particularly because traders face two vexing dilemmas: the market is non-linear and an open system.
Basically, even a semblance of predictability can never be fully assumed, as catalysts from outside the system can derail a well-crafted thesis in a nanosecond. Therefore, a stock forecasting model must, in a sense, be too stupid to fail — much like the Kalashnikov rifle. It's old, it's ugly, but it works.
In the same vein, applying these principles to the demand profile of EXPE stock reveals more than what price alone can explain. Specifically, in the past 10 weeks, EXPE printed a "3-7" sequence: three weeks of upside interspersed with seven weeks of downside, with a negative trajectory across the period. This sequence is rare, having only flashed 16 times in the trailing decade.
Notably, whenever this pattern materializes, the chances of upside in the following week stand at 75%. Further, there has only been one case of a 2-8 sequence in the past 10 years, meaning that historically, long negative streaks generally signal an incoming sentiment reversal.
Adding to the optimism, the last time the 3-7 sequence flashed was roughly one year ago. Over the next 30 weeks, EXPE stock printed three 7-3 sequences in succession, with the bulls reasserting control.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Plotting A Bold Options Strategy For EXPE Stock</h2>
For the next 10 weeks, assuming that the positive pathway materializes, EXPE stock should be on course to reach a median price of $163.58, based on historical trends following the printing of the 3-7 sequence. Otherwise, if the pessimists win out, the median downside risk could land at around $154.90 about two months from now.

However, as an options trade, betting on a positive outcome for next week's earnings report would likely be on the speculators' watch list. With this in mind, aggressive traders may consider the 162.50/167.50 bull call spread expiring May 9. This transaction involves buying the $162.50 call and simultaneously selling the $167.50 call, for a net debit paid of $265.
Should EXPE stock rise through the short strike price of $167.50, at expiration, the trader would receive a maximum reward of $235, a payout of nearly 89%.
What makes this idea attractive is that fundamentally, the bad news could already be priced into the security. Investors have already digested several unpleasant news items. Therefore, a positive result — or even an optimistically framed outlook — can help drive sentiment northward.

Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SABR#NASDAQ">SABR</a>) announced Monday that it will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n45037538/sabre-enters-into-definitive-agreement-to-sell-its-hospitality-solutions-business-unit-to-tpg-for-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sell its Hospitality Solutions business</a> to TPG Inc.

This strategic move aims to streamline operations and sharpen the company&#8217;s focus on core technology platforms.

Sabre CEO Kurt Ekert praised the team behind Hospitality Solutions for their transformation efforts, adding that the divestiture enables Sabre to concentrate more effectively on its airline IT and travel marketplace operations.
Meanwhile, TPG executives Tim Millikin and Paul Hackwell highlighted their commitment to helping the platform expand and adapt to the evolving needs of the hospitality industry.

Uber Technologies Inc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) chief Dara Khosrowshahi says Gen Z leaders need two college pillars — "learning all of the… really important basics of engineering" and "marrying that with liberal arts."
What Happened: Speaking to students at Brown University — his 1991 alma mater — he <a href="https://www.brown.edu/news/2025-04-10/dara-khosrowshahi">called</a> the double bill an "absolute necessity when you're in a leadership position."
Engineering, he said, taught him "how to solve complex problems," skills that powered a career jump from investment banking to orchestrating Expedia Group Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>) $1.3 billion buyout from Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and, ultimately, to the Uber driver seat. 
Liberal‑arts coursework, meanwhile, "really taught me to communicate in a compelling way," a talent investors now prize as CEOs front‑facing everything from earnings calls to social‑media storms.
See also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44857520/bill-gates-says-his-kids-and-grandkids-will-live-in-a-very-changed-world-as-ai-puts-an-end-to-shortage-of-teachers-and-doctors">Bill Gates Says His Kids And Grandkids Will Live In A &#8216;Very Changed World&#8217; As AI Puts An End To Shortage Of Teachers And Doctors</a>
The Brown grad's résumé backs the advice: Expedia's revenue went from $2.1 billion to $8.7 billion under his watch, and Uber's market cap hovers near $141 billion.
For students wondering whether tuition is worth it, Khosrowshahi points to the earning power of hybrid fluency — technical IQ plus storytelling savvy — at a moment when AI competence and human empathy share top billing in the C‑suite.
Why It Matters: While Uber&#8217;s CEO believes studying engineering and liberal arts in college was critical to his leadership growth, many other business leaders don&#8217;t necessarily agree. Elon Musk, for one, told a conference in 2020 that he thinks &#8220;college is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/04/38319479/elon-musk-thinks-college-is-basically-for-fun-and-to-prove-that-you-can-do-your-chores-says-degr">basically for fun</a> and to prove that you can do your chores, but they&#8217;re not for learning.&#8221;
Peter Thiel, the billionaire cofounder of PayPal and an early Facebook investor, has a complicated relationship with higher education, too. The Stanford University graduate with a philosophy degree and a law degree thinks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42366606/peter-thiel-is-a-stanford-grad-but-thinks-college-is-such-a-waste-that-he-offers-100000-to-students-who-quit-compares-education-to-santa">college is so overrated</a> that he will pay students $100,000 to drop out.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
