Jefferies lifts TripAdvisor rating to Hold and cuts price target to $7

Jefferies upgraded TripAdvisor Inc. from Underperform to Hold and lowered its price target from $8.00 to $7.00. The broker trimmed its 2028 revenue outlook by 3% and its 2028 EBITDA outlook by roughly 10% because of weaker growth in the Experiences segment. The rating change follows TripAdvisor's third‑quarter 2026 results of $436.4 million revenue and $0.37 earnings per share, both below analysts' expectations.

The reduced price target and lower 2028 forecasts may weigh on the stock, which is already trading near its 52‑week low of $6.95. Jefferies' neutral stance could also influence other analysts covering the company.
