Expedia Group has filed paperwork indicating that 162 employees in Washington state will be laid off. The affected roles span product management, software development engineering, user experience design, data engineering and content design, among others. The company cited a strategic effort to align skills with its future roadmap and simplify its organizational structure. Impact notices were delivered to employees this week, with severance packages and outplacement support being offered. Local unemployment filings reflect that these cuts represent approximately 4% of Expedia’s Washington-based workforce.

Despite recent headcount reductions, Expedia’s Q3 2025 results underscore operational momentum. Global bookings climbed 11% year-over-year to 108.3 million room nights, driven by strength in North America and Europe, while total revenue rose 8.7% to $5.1 billion. The company reported a non-GAAP operating margin of 23.4%, up 150 basis points year-over-year, reflecting ongoing efficiency measures in technology and marketing spend. Equity analysts maintain a buy rating, pointing to a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 16x and dividend-discount-model targets that imply upside to current valuations. Technical indicators show sustained bullish momentum, with share volume surging around each quarterly release, suggesting investor appetite for new buying opportunities.
