Looks like a TON of speculation and confusion helped fuel this low float move on NASDAQ:LTRPB / NASDAQ:LTRPA. Crazy from basically $4.50 to over $134...my guess it comes crashing down just as fast. Some good digging here though:
"Liberty TripAdvisor, it holds an ownership interest in TripAdvisor, Inc. Specifically, as of its most recent 10K from Feb. 19th, as of December 31, 2019, Liberty Tripadvisor “held an approximate 23% equity interest and 58% voting interest in Tripadvisor.” However, TripAdvisor, Inc. is a separate public company...

Certares has a long list of travel-related names it has invested in. It was also founded by Greg O’Hara.
He’s got a long list of achievements under his belt including Chief Investment Officer of JPMorgan Chase’s Special Investments Group, Executive Chairman of American Express Global Business Travel and …. drumroll please…Vice Chairman of Liberty TripAdvisor Holding."
