Travel Services Stocks
Travel Services: Booking Holdings Inc. owns the largest revenue base; Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality, Inc. has the fastest current growth.
How has Travel Services moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 47% ahead of S&P 500. Earnings across its companies grew 24% on average over the last four reported quarters. It has been ahead of S&P 500 on a rolling three-month view for 9 weeks running.
RS ↑9w · 12/14 >200d (+4) · 11/14 lead (+4) · EPS 9/14↑
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 14 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
Is Travel Services outperforming S&P 500?
Travel Services has outperformed S&P 500 by 8.8% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 16%. 7 of 13 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +58.9%.
Sector metric: — as of latest available · unclassified · direction unavailable.
The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.
Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.
Bottom line
Travel Services has outperformed S&P 500 by 8.8% over 52 weeks and 16% over 13 weeks. 7 of 13 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 5 of 13 beat the sector itself. Booking Holdings Inc. leads with revenue of $27,687 million, based on 11 of 14 comparable companies through Mar 2026.
4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action
Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. has the strongest one-year price move in Travel Services at +175.8%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +71.8%. 7 of 13 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-08-04.
Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.
How far ahead of or behind S&P 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS S&P 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.
The same measure taken against Travel Services itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.
Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
Booking Holdings Inc. has the highest Revenue among the 14 Travel Services companies compared here, at $27,687 million. Carnival Corporation Ltd. is next at $27,311 million. Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality, Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at 27.3%, so level and change sit with different companies. 11 of 14 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: Booking Holdings Inc. is the scale leader at $27,687 million, 1.4% ahead of Carnival Corporation Ltd.. Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality, Inc.'s growth is 27.3% from a $467 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.
Investor read: Booking Holdings Inc. is the scale benchmark; Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality, Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: Booking Holdings Inc.'s growth falls below Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality, Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Return On Capital Employed
Booking Holdings Inc. has the highest ROCE among the 14 Travel Services companies compared here, at 13.6%. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. is next at 4.3%. Expedia Group, Inc. has the highest ROCE change at +4.2 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 14 of 14 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: Booking Holdings Inc. leads ROCE at 13.6%, 9.3 percentage points above Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.. Expedia Group, Inc. has the strongest latest improvement at +4.2 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability.
Investor read: Booking Holdings Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality
Airbnb, Inc. has the lowest PEG among the 14 Travel Services companies compared here, at 0.6×. Carnival Corporation Ltd. is next at 0.63×. Carnival Corporation Ltd. has the lowest P/E at 12.6×, so level and change sit with different companies. 5 of 14 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: Airbnb, Inc. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.6×, 4.8% below Carnival Corporation Ltd.. Only 5 of 14 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.
Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Travel Services comparison names 5 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 1 of the 14 companies reports on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so its rank is marked stale. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
- A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
- A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
- The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
- An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
- 1 company has an older fundamental reporting date than the sector’s freshest reporters; its rank carries a stale marker.
How was this comparison built?
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 14 Travel Services companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-08-04. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.
Travel Services company comparison FAQs
These 22 answers restate the Travel Services comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 14 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-08-04. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Is the Travel Services sector outperforming S&P 500?
Travel Services has outperformed S&P 500 by 8.8% over 52 weeks and 16% over 13 weeks. 7 of 13 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 5 of 13 beat the sector itself.

Which Travel Services company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?

Which Travel Services company has the lowest comparable PEG?
Airbnb, Inc. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.6, among 5 of 14 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.
How much history does this Travel Services comparison include?
The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.
How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?
The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.
Which Travel Services company is the biggest?
Booking Holdings Inc. is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $27,687 million, ahead of Carnival Corporation Ltd. at $27,311 million. That covers 11 of 14 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. has the highest operating margin at 26.1%, from 14 of 14 comparable companies. Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality, Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +39.7 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Travel Services company makes the most profit?
Booking Holdings Inc. earns the most, at $6,154 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 11 of 14 comparable companies. Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Travel Services company earns the highest return on capital?
Booking Holdings Inc. leads on return on capital employed at 13.6%, across 14 of 14 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Travel Services stock is the cheapest?
On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Airbnb, Inc. screens cheapest at 0.6×. Only 5 of 14 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Is the Travel Services sector beating the market?
Travel Services has outperformed S&P 500 by 8.8% over the last 52 weeks and 16% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 7 of 13 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
Which Travel Services stock has the strongest price momentum?
Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
Which Travel Services company scores highest for research priority?
Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. scores 60.7 out of 100 with 60.6% evidence confidence, from 20.8 points on growth and earnings, 10.3 on capital efficiency, 10 on valuation and 19.6 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.
How many Travel Services companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
It compares 14 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
What is the total market cap of the Travel Services sector?
The 14 Travel Services companies on this page carry $482,946 million of combined market value. Booking Holdings Inc. is the largest at $150,536 million, about 31% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-08-04.
What is the Travel Services sector's P/E ratio?
The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 14 Travel Services companies on this page is 27.3×, measured on the 12 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-08-04.
How is the Travel Services sector performing?
7 of the 13 covered Travel Services companies are beating S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 8.8% ahead of S&P 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-08-04.
How many Travel Services stocks are listed in the US?
This comparison covers 14 listed Travel Services companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Jun 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
Why are some values on this page blank?
A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.
Is this investment advice?
No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
