Booking Hlds (BKNG) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Booking Holdings exhibited strong financial performance, evidenced by an adjusted EPS growth of over 20%, surpassing earlier expectations, while also achieving an improved adjusted EBITDA margin increase of 180 basis points year-over-year. The company experienced notable room night growth across multiple regions, particularly in Europe and the U.S., suggesting robust demand for its booking services and a favorable shift in consumer behavior towards online travel agencies. Furthermore, steady global leisure travel demand heading into the fourth quarter, coupled with anticipated gains in OTA market share, underlines Booking Holdings' position to capitalize on positive market trends.
Bears say
The analysis of Booking Holdings reveals concerns regarding the company's outlook due to a combination of market risks and strategic shifts. Key issues include the potential disintermediation posed by AI technologies, which could compromise margins and affect revenues, particularly as the company ventures into lower-margin sectors such as air travel. Additionally, regulatory challenges stemming from the EU's Digital Services Act and passenger market cyclicality heighten the risk profile, with underlying economic factors not fully accounted for in earnings estimates.
