Expedia (EXPE) stock fell 7.7% on September 23, leaving it about 24% below its August 24 high of $339. Yet the company's latest results beat its forecast, and over the past 12 months the stock has still returned about 17%, roughly in line with the S&P 500. So how far could Expedia go in a real market shock.

Booking (BKNG) turns 35% of its sales into operating profit, against 18.6% for the S&P 500. Yet its stock lost 29% in the year to September 23, 2026, while the index returned 13%. Booking expects third-quarter 2026 revenue to grow just 4% to 6%. The question you face is whether that slower growth is a pause or Booking's new pace. Start with what the current price already asks you to pay.

Airbnb (ABNB) shares fell 21% in the month to September 23, while the S&P 500 rose 0.8%. A $10,000 holding at the start of that month was worth about $7,860 at the end. Airbnb's own news over those weeks does not explain it, so the fall needs a different explanation.

Airbnb (ABNB) is spending to grow beyond homes, into hotels, car rentals, and other services. For an owner, the risk is that this spending squeezes profit margins while the stock trades at a premium. Management has not said what margin Airbnb expects for 2027.
