From Dec 31st, 2012 Balance Sheet
--current ratio of .47
--negative book value of 142 million ($1.35 a share) looks even worse in light of the fact that 437 million of "assets" are made up of Goodwill & Intangibles
As of April 4th, 2013
--10 straight years of losses
--closed at $6.25, very close to 1 year high of $6.40. Appears to be due to good news of settling lawsuit with American Airlines

Recognizing that Orbitz trades at a relatively high discount to its peers (Expedia 30x P/E, 13x EBITDA, 2x Revenue ///// Priceline 26x P/E, 17x EBITDA, 6x Revenue), it still has risen 100%+ in one month on a mediocre earnings announcement. I anticipate some short term pain in this, but long term volatility on the stock, potential catalyst for a swing down in an earnings announcement, and really long term crumbling business model with some very scary potential competitors. Low barriers to entry, non-sticky customers. 8.3x EBITDA, 1.1x revenue, so arguably "fairly" priced unless you believe that a business like this is in decline. Only other risk is someone buying it, but my feeling is it would be cheaper for a potential buyer to launch their own service or buy a more market dominant.

Middleman = red thumb for the future of this company

No dividend, but fairly high debt, earnings and revenue aren't going up very fast. Would be a scary stock to hold if the market went down hard and otherwise at what chance of a great payout to shareholders? Answer: not much.

oww is below face value, profit should exceed lose. American Airline is back Orbits playlist.

Growth is accelerating and the company is diversyfing. The stock is well below its IPO for well over a year now.

travel is the worst

They are very widely recognized with good deals like priceline. They have enough cashflow to stay afloat during the "American Oil Crisis" and will succeed in the near future.

I’m just getting to learn the ins and outs of the stock market here, but I’m picking this stock to do well. Travel internet web sites are obviously a booming business in the past few years and will continue to be an asset in air fare deals. Especially considering that our ever rising gasoline prices will definitely influence the cost of airline tickets. I’ve heard that Orbitz has expanded into Europe. Worldwide expansion seems to be a good indicator that this company is going to be sticking around. They might be selling lower than the competitors now but I think that will be changing shortly.
Recs
It's been beaten up but has strong fundamentals and is a value play compared to PCLN.
Recs
A triple bottom is in on the technicals, the fundamentals are there, Europe business is growing and it trades at a deep discount to it's peers (PCLN, EXPE, and CTRP).

Orbitz Worldwide has performed the worst of the major airline internet traffic companies over the last six months and I think we've finally hit a point where their value relative to competitors looks attractive. Orbitz has expanded nicely into Europe and is moving further away from getting all of its revenues within the US. Margins are high in this business as long as they can keep their booking fees and they look likely to gain profitability in 2008. At just 12 times earnings and 1.00 times book they seem to be a bargain compared to priceline.com at 23 times earnings and 8 times book and even expedia but you have to keep in mind how quickly EXPE and PCLN are growing. Keep your expectations limited and there's no reason OWW doesnt rebound 30-45% in 2008.
