BKNG

Booking Holdings has attracted investor attention despite underperforming the market. The stock has declined 6.3% over the past month while the S&P 500 gained 2.1%.

Although the company shows strong earnings growth expectations (+14.9% for current fiscal year) and consistent beat history on both revenue and EPS, it received a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) rating due to negative earnings estimate revisions. The stock is valued at par with peers but is expected to underperform the broader market in the near term.

Booking Holdings closed at $160.68, up 2.01% and outperforming the S&P 500's 1.11% decline. However, the stock has fallen 8.06% over the past month.

The company is expected to report Q3 earnings on November 3, 2026, with projected EPS of $4.48 (up 12.56% YoY) and revenue of $9.56 billion (up 6.17% YoY). Despite positive earnings growth expectations, BKNG holds a Zacks Rank of #4 (Sell) with a Forward P/E of 15.03, trading at a discount to its industry average.
