His ratings came at a time when post-COVID-19 pandemic recovery, high demand and spending trends are driving the industry, the analyst said in a Tuesday note to investors.
On Booking, Devitt said despite the turbulence of the industry, the company maintains a robust position as the leading online travel agency worldwide, anticipating more than 1 billion room nights through its platform in 2023.
Booking's strong points include a leading competitive position, strong margins, substantial free cash flow generation, diversified geographic mix and disciplined capital allocation with $22 billion remaining for repurchases.

For Uber, Wedbush said the company was primed for sustainable long-term growth with catalysts including deeper international penetration, vertical expansion into grocery and retail, and cross-selling opportunities, reinforced by Uber One, the company’s membership program.
Airbnb, while having strong long-term growth potential, was seen as a more cautious bet given its unique exposure to longer stays, alternative accommodation, and lower-density non-urban stays during the pandemic, which may decrease in a return to normalcy.
On CLEAR, DoorDash, Expedia and Lyft, Devitt said while the companies have potential, future normalization risks and specific industry dynamics demand a more careful approach.
