Booking Holdings stock steadies as U.S. visa move keeps travel names on edge (BKNG)
Booking Holdings shares were flat Thursday after a 2.4% drop Wednesday, as investors reacted to the U.S. suspension of immigrant visa processing for 75 countries starting Jan. 21. The move has pressured travel stocks and intensified scrutiny of U.S. entry policies ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Booking traded at $5,183.21 in the afternoon, about 11% below its 52-week high.
