New York, January 21, 2026, 13:45 EST — Regular session
Booking Holdings Inc shares climbed roughly 1.4% to $5,096 on Wednesday. The Norwalk, Connecticut-based company, which owns Booking.com and Priceline, announced it will release its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results on February 18. The report is expected around 4 p.m. ET, with a conference call set for 4:30 p.m. Earlier in the session, the stock fluctuated between $5,009 and $5,108.
The upcoming date is the next key catalyst for BKNG, a stock known to react strongly to even minor shifts in growth forecasts.
Online travel results frequently offer a fast snapshot of demand, pricing, and the advertising budgets companies need to maintain booking flows.
Analysts tracked by Zacks are forecasting Booking to post earnings per share of $48.59 on revenue hitting $6.12 billion for the quarter, according to a Nasdaq.com note. February’s report will serve as a key test not only for the quarter’s results but also for management’s initial outlook on 2026 travel demand and marketing expenses.
Booking slipped 1.74% on Tuesday, closing at $5,027 and marking its second day down in a row. Despite the drop, it held up better than Expedia, Trip.com, and Tripadvisor during the selloff, according to MarketWatch data. The stock remains roughly 14% below its 52-week peak, with Tuesday’s trading volume exceeding the 50-day average.
BKNG shares have fluctuated roughly between $4,096 and $5,839 over the last year, making them vulnerable to changes in travel demand as the spring booking season approaches.
February can still falter, even with steady demand. A jump in the dollar or rising costs from performance marketing — like paid search ads — might pinch margins and rattle forecasts.
Investors are zeroing in on gross bookings, which measure the total value of travel reservations on the platform, as well as room nights. They’ll also track the split between direct traffic and paid search. Another key figure is the attach rate—how frequently customers tack on extras like flights or car rentals to their bookings.
Booking is set to release its earnings on February 18, right after U.S. markets close, followed by a Q&A session on its conference call.
