Investors around the globe are exhausted. Every day it seems there's another issue plaguing Europe. You would't blame them for taking a much-needed rest or weekend getaway, but apparently they're opting for the comfort of home. At least that's what the numbers out of two online travel stocks suggested today. Results from both Orbitz and industry bellwether priceline.com are leading investors to ask for an early checkout. That kind of move comes at a cost today, with Priceline shares down more than $100 in one day. That's certainly something you don't see very often, but it's not suprising given the quickly decelerating trends the company is seeing across its European segment.
Online travel isn't the only industry taking it on the chin. A weak consumer has really weighed on many retailers. Despite these headwinds, our analysts still think two retailers have especially good prospects.
