What moved EXPE
- Morgan Stanley downgraded Expedia to Underweight from Equal-weight and set a $235 price target.
- Analysts said Expedia’s valuation discount to Booking Holdings has narrowed too far given the company’s greater exposure to chain hotels, air travel and a potentially weaker consumer.
