Booking Holdings (BKNG) Stock Week Ahead: Latest News, Analyst Forecasts, and Key Catalysts for Dec. 22–26, 2025

(NASDAQ: BKNG) enters the week of December 22–26, 2025 in a familiar place for long-term investors: near highs, supported by resilient global travel demand, but still facing a fast-evolving competitive and regulatory backdrop. With U.S. markets heading into a holiday-shortened trading week (and typically lighter liquidity), the setup is less about company-specific catalysts and more about how investors price (1) travel demand durability, (2) margin and buyback expectations, and (3) AI/search disruption risk—especially as big tech pushes further into travel planning.
