On July 30, Booking Holdings fell 3.25% in regular trading, trading at $191.69/share, with turnover of $355 million.
On the news front, the Hotels, Resorts and Cruise Lines sector experienced broad-based selling pressure, with Norwegian Cruise Line down 7.25%, Expedia down 4.82%, Marriott down 2.30%, Royal Caribbean Cruises down 1.50%, and Carnival down 0.61%. The sector-wide weakness dragged on individual names including Booking Holdings. Additionally, the stock had surged 6.70% in the prior session to $199.31, and short-term profit-taking likely amplified the pullback.
Despite the decline, UBS raised its price target on Booking Holdings to $266 from $249 while maintaining a Buy rating. FactSet consensus data shows the average analyst target price stands at $223.77, representing significant upside from the current trading level. The company is scheduled to report second-quarter earnings on August 4 after market close, with consensus EPS expectations at $2.45, a substantial increase from $1.14 in the prior quarter.
