The stock has skyrocketed 18.6% to $46 per share in after-hours trading shortly after its earnings report was released.

TripAdvisor:

Beat earnings estimates. The company posted non-GAAP earnings of $0.30 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.16. Investors should note that this consensus projection has trended downward over the duration of the quarter.

Beat revenue estimates. The company saw revenue figures of $378 million, beating our consensus estimate of $360.8 million.

TripAdvisor destroyed both earnings and revenue estimates, which is currently being reflected in after-hours trading. Part of this success came from non-hotel revenue, which saw a massive uptake, improving from $21 million to $79 million year over year.

In addition, user reviews and opinions grew 26%, and average monthly unique visitors on TripAdvisor branded websites grew 12%.

“We are tracking well to our 2018 financial objectives. Our good start has made us more positive about our 2018 profitability outlook” says CFO Ernest Teunissen.
