Travelzoo’s market situation continues to deteriorate as its stock has crashed nearly 49% this year, with a significant development further undermining investor confidence. Key shareholder Azzurro Capital, which holds over 10% of the company, sold shares worth approximately $187,000 in late July. The transactions occurred in two phases: 7,500 shares sold at $11.08-11.10 on July 28, followed by 10,000 shares at substantially lower prices of $10.34-10.36 just one day later. This rapid price decline within 24 hours highlights the severely negative market sentiment. While Azzurro Capital still maintains ownership of over four million shares, the selling action sends a troubling signal that even major stakeholders appear to be losing faith in any quick recovery.
Disappointing Quarterly Results Fuel Decline
The travel deal publisher’s struggles stem largely from its disastrous second-quarter 2025 performance. Earnings per share reached only $0.12, falling 50% below analyst expectations of $0.24, devastating investors who had anticipated a turnaround. The company did manage to slightly exceed revenue projections, posting $23.9 million against forecasts of $23.39 million, but this minor positive was overshadowed by the significant profit shortfall. The stock currently trades at just $10.13, a level many investors likely never anticipated, with bearish sentiment firmly in control and no clear end to the downward trajectory in sight.
