Tripadvisor (NASDAQ:TRIP) stock is getting a boost on Wednesday after the travel company got a double upgrade from Bank of America.

Analyst Nat Schindler is behind this upgrade, which sees them lifting TRIP stock from an “underperform” rating to a “buy” rating. That’s bullish compared to the analysts’ consensus “hold” rating for the stock. That’s based on 11 analysts’ opinions.

To go along with that, the Bank of America analyst also set a price target of $38 per share for TRIP stock. That’s a major boost over the firm’s prior price prediction of $19 per share. Also, it represents a potential 57.2% upside from yesterday’s close.

What’s Behind the TRIP Stock Upgrade?

Here’s what Schindler said in a note to clients obtained by SeekingAlpha:

“We think that TRIP’s Viator is making strong in-roads in an otherwise underpenetrated online Experience booking market. We remain cautious on meta-search growth, but inflation led customer price sensitivity could be an advantage. Core TRIP remains a cash cow that while not a significant grower over time can both fund and drive customers to high growth Viator.”

TRIP stock is up 7.6% as of Wednesday morning as some 614,000 shares change hands. That’s still below its daily average trading volume of about 2.2 million shares.
