Broadly, online travel companies are seeing a rebound in activity, driven by international travel, with U.S. demand showing signs of improvement beginning in July."Outside of the U.S., the market was quite healthy. Inside the U.S., it was softer,"&nbsp;Expedia CEO Ariane Gorin told Bloomberg in an interview."There was a bit of a bifurcation between travelers at the high end of the market that were still traveling, and then at the lower end of the market, where there was a bit more of wait and see."On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment for Expedia shifted to 'extremely bullish' as of late Thursday, from 'neutral' the previous day, with message volume rising 2,300% in the past 24 hours."Buy all you can, forward guidance is rocking!" a user said.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/SmashingStocks/message/624245414</stembedurl>However, a few users also cautioned that the stock might not sustain the gains in Friday's session, comparing it to a similar move in DoorDash's shares this week.According to another user, the adjusted EPS beat was modest, while GAAP EPS actually declined, raising doubts over whether the after-hours share move is justified.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Huck18/message/624239984</stembedurl>On Thursday, Expedia said it now expects 2025 revenue to rise 3% to 5%, up from its previous forecast of 2% to 4% growth.
