Net income also improved substantially to $61.7 million, compared to a net loss of $26.3 million in year ago quarter. For Q1 2025, the company guided for gross bookings of around $4.05 billion to $4.20 billion, implying a growth of around 10% to 14% year-over-year. The management also highlighted tougher pricing environment in the U.S. market.

The soft guidance disappointed many analysts, particularly in view of the intensifying competition, and resulted in many analysts lowering their price targets. However, Brad Erickson from RBC Capital reiterated a Buy rating on the shares with a price target of $21. The consensus still remains modestly positive with 1-year median price target of $16, implying a 42% upside potential.
