Does Expedia Group Inc. have an economic moat?

Not enough data

We cannot judge Expedia Group Inc. yet, because fewer than five years had both a return on capital and a cost of capital we could measure. This is not a “no”.

How Expedia Group Inc. scores

Expedia Group Inc. (EXPE) has a Lemma Quality Score of 7.2 out of 10 as of October 17, 2026, which reads as high quality. A high reading means most of the pillars are strong, with no serious weakness pulling the average down. Five pillars feed it, and every one of them is computed from what the company reported rather than from its share price.

Ranked with the 179 Consumer Discretionary companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 92nd percentile, among the top tenth of the group. A typical company in the group scores 5.0, and the best quarter starts from 6.1. Expedia Group Inc. is well above that typical reading.

Pillar by pillar

Profitability

On profitability, Expedia Group Inc. scores 9.8, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 5.1 across 176 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it well above them, at the 98th percentile. A reading this strong says the business earns well on what it sells and on the capital it uses, the kind of margin profile competitors find hard to copy.

Solvency

Solvency scores 6.5 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 141 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.9, so Expedia Group Inc. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 59th percentile. An average solvency reading suggests debt is present but manageable, the normal state for a company that borrows to fund its operations.

Growth

Expedia Group Inc.’s growth score is 6.9 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 4.0 among 149 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is well above the group and the 86th percentile. A middling growth reading is typical of a mature company whose next step depends on reinvestment rather than on its market growing for it.

Efficiency

Efficiency scores 7.0 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 170 Consumer Discretionary companies is 6.2, so Expedia Group Inc. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 75th percentile. High efficiency means assets and earnings are being turned into cash and output better than at most peers, a sign of a well run operation.

Predictability

Predictability scores 4.9 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 178 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.0, so Expedia Group Inc. is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 47th percentile. Middling predictability suggests some volatility in the record, enough to read the other pillars with a little caution.

Strongest and weakest pillar

This is a lopsided profile. Profitability scores 9.8 but predictability only 4.9, a gap of 4.9 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. Leading with profitability is the most valuable kind of strength, because margins and returns are what the other pillars ultimately feed. A predictability shortfall means the record is volatile, so the averages behind the other pillars move more than they appear to.

What would move the score

Every scored pillar is at or above the median of Consumer Discretionary companies, so there is no catch-up left to lift the overall. The risk runs the other way: a one point fall in profitability, the heaviest of them, would take the score from 7.2 to about 7.0. All five pillars could be scored, so the overall uses the full set of weights out of 100: profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20.

How this score is calculated

Limitations

This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.
