Tripadvisor Misses Q2 Estimates as Hotels Revenue Plunges 21%
TRIP sits 41% above its 52-week low of $9.01.
Summary
Tripadvisor's Q2 revenue fell 7% to $441.9M, missing the $506.3M consensus, as its legacy Hotels segment cratered 21%. Adjusted EPS of $0.35 also missed by $0.03. The company is pivoting hard to Experiences, which grew only 3%, while booking a $3.9M severance charge from hotel-side layoffs. This follows the $700M TheFork sale to American Express, now a discontinued operation, which will fund the shift. The core business is deteriorating faster than the new growth can offset, and the cost cuts signal urgency. Next quarter will show whether Experiences can accelerate or if the decline deepens.
