Priceline Might Benefit From Its Strategic Investments In Q4, But Weak Euro Likely To Thwart Growth

Priceline has guided to a slow to moderate pace of growth in Q4 2014, primarily because of the scenarios affecting its operation in recent times. The threat of Ebola and certain Asian disasters like the fire in Vietnam and Malaysian Airlines accidents, have slowed international travel. In addition, the weak Euro exchange rate continues to dampen its performance in the European regions. This has led to an expectation of a slowdown in the Q4 2014 performance by the company.
