Crowd's Bullishness Extends Beyond Tripadvisor

Tripadvisor in October announced a new partnership with Priceline Group Inc (NASDAQ: PCLN) to handle its Instant Booking feature. Tripadvisor's stock ripped initially following the announcement while Priceline's stock was relatively muted.

Investors may have initially believed that the new agreement was one-sided and benefits Tripadvisor more than it does Priceline. The Vetr crowd may not hold a similar belief as they are more bullish on Priceline compared to Tripadvisor.

Priceline's stock is rated five tsars by the Vetr crowd, although a similar 85 percent of the crowd demonstrated a bullish stance. On the other hand, the crowd-sourced price target of $1,525.87 implies a potential upside of more than 17 percent.

One of the members of the crowd, Daniel S. Williams, noted that Priceline has a "solid breadth of names" under its corporate umbrella – including Priceline, and Tripadvisor's new partner – Booking.com.
