Booking Hlds (BKNG) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Booking Hlds (BKNG) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Booking Holdings has demonstrated a positive trajectory in growth metrics, with transaction volumes increasing by 4.2% quarter-to-date (QTD) through early December, and an acceleration in room night growth from low-single digits to high-single digits in the U.S. This robust growth is expected to translate into mid-teens percentage growth in bookings and revenue, bolstered by favorable tailwinds from air travel and foreign exchange impacts. Furthermore, the data indicates strengthening trends across the travel sector, suggesting a firm fundamental outlook for the company as reservation volumes have increased by approximately 4 percentage points from October.
Bears say
The financial outlook for Booking Holdings appears negative due to several key factors. Firstly, the company's expansion into lower-margin categories, such as air travel, raises concerns about potential downward pressure on take rates and overall margins, which could adversely impact profitability. Additionally, regulatory pressures from the EU's Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act, combined with the cyclical nature of the travel industry, create uncertainty that may not be fully accounted for in current financial estimates.
