Expedia Group (EXPE): Buy this Stock NOW for AFTER Iran Peace Deal

The market has been narrowly focused on tech stocks and a splash of energy of late. All the while many other attractive stocks have seen overdone drops which makes for very attractive entry points. 

Buying Expedia Group (EXPE) now is definitely a smart counter punch move as this consistent growth story in the travel sector got kneed in the nether regions thanks to the soaring energy prices from the war with Iran. And to me that spells opportunity once the peace deal comes through.

Again, why am I so sure of a peace deal? 

Because Republicans will have a very hard time winning mid term elections with prices at the pump as high as they are now which has led to a very disgruntled voting class. So they need to wrap this up fairly soon.

So if war with Iran > higher energy prices > lower EXPE share price

THEN

Peace deal with Iran > lower energy prices > higher EXPE share price

In case you didn’t know here are the key travel brands making up the Expedia Group:

• Expedia
•  Hotels.com
• VRBO
• Trivago
• Orbitz
•  Traveloicity
• HotWire
• Need I go on???

They are the dominant player because of leading edge technology. And that gives them sparkling fundamentals as they grow showing up in their top 13% showing for Growth and top 2% showing for Financials. 

This Zen Ratings profile is so good that it is currently one of the top 7 stocks in the Large Cap portfolio inside Zen Strategies.

If that was not good enough, then how about a top 1% showing for value which is echoed by many top analysts including Naved Khan of B. Riley putting out a street high $350 target for EXPE which is 55% above current levels.

So yes, every time the peace deal falls apart EXPE will be in the red. But once the deal is done...then these travel shares will be ready for take off.
