Description: BKNG Booking Holdings September 24, 2025

Booking Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:BKNG) operates a portfolio of leading online travel brands-including Booking.com, Priceline, Agoda, KAYAK, and OpenTable-that enable consumers to book accommodations, flights, rental cars, cruises, activities, and restaurant reservations, while also providing distribution, advertising, and insurance services to travel-service providers.

Founded in 1997 and rebranded from The Priceline Group in 2018, the company is headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, and generates the bulk of its revenue from the United States, the Netherlands, and a broad international footprint.

Key performance indicators from FY 2023 show $18.7 billion in revenue, $124 billion in net bookings, and an adjusted EBITDA margin of roughly 23%, reflecting the high-margin, asset-light nature of its platform business (gross margins consistently near 90%).

Growth is being driven by a rebound in discretionary travel spending post-pandemic, especially in the Asia-Pacific region where Agoda’s market share is expanding, and by continued consumer shift toward meta-search tools like KAYAK that capture price-sensitive demand.

Macro-level drivers include global GDP growth, consumer confidence, and the elasticity of travel spend to interest-rate movements; a slowdown in these areas could materially affect booking volumes.
