27% profit every 20 days?
This is what Nic Chahine averages with his option buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads… BUYING options. Most traders don’t even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here’s how he does it.
Cowen’s Kevin Kopelman believes the Street is underestimating the pressure on Tripadvisor Inc (NASDAQ: TRIP) during FY16, as well as the potential for a rebound in FY17.
Kopelman maintains a Market Perform rating on the company, while raising the price target from $65 to $70.
Favorable Setup
Following an analysis of the revenue per shopper, the analyst has lowered the estimate for greater Instant Book headwinds, bringing the revenue and EBITDA estimates below the consensus forecasts for FY16.
However, Kopelman expects a robust rebound in the flagship meta and Instant Book revenues, from a decline of 14 percent in 1H to flat in 2H and then 28 percent growth in FY17, significantly above the consensus expectations.
“The rollout of Instant Book, TripAdvisor's program to drive bookings directly on its own website, drove significant headwinds in Q1,” the analyst noted, mentioning that revenue per shopper fell 34 percent yea- on-year.
Q2 Better Than Q1
Although TripAdvisor is expected to benefit from more favorable FX and the elimination of a revenue timing shift in Q2 as compared to Q1, Kopelman expects this to be offset by the impact of the first full quarter of Instant Book being rolled out to key international markets.
“TripAdvisor has also continued to invest heavily in both its R&D platforms and marketing programs and will also be integrating the recent acquisition of HouseTrip, a small vacation rental company,” the analyst added.
