Booking Holdings stock (ISIN US09857L1089) was trading at USD 157.19 on Nasdaq on September 24, 2026 at 2:48 p.m. ET, up 0.83 percent for the session and 30.14 percent below its 52-week high of USD 225.00.

Revenue reaches USD 7.35 billion

Booking Holdings generated USD 7.35 billion in revenue in Q2 2026, an 8.1 percent increase from the same quarter a year earlier, according to MarketBeat. Revenue also exceeded the USD 7.19 billion consensus estimate by USD 160 million, or 2.23 percent.

Adjusted EPS reached USD 2.54 in Q2 2026, compared with the USD 2.43 consensus estimate. The USD 0.11 beat gives the earnings story more weight than the modest same-session share gain, because it combines top-line growth with a measurable earnings surprise.

Analyst target stays above market price

The contrast is clear: Q2 revenue grew 8.1 percent year over year, while the stock traded 30.14 percent below its 52-week high. For investors, the next valuation debate centers on whether the earnings growth can narrow that distance.
