Position among covered Consumer Discretionary companies that report each metric (minimum 5 peers). A relative position within our covered catalog — not a valuation, quality, or investment judgment. A higher percentile is simply a higher value (for P/E, more expensive on earnings — never "better"). Informational only.
Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Covered by reported results. In FY2025, BKNG's dividend was covered by reported results (free-cash-flow payout 14%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payoutnot assessable earnings not reported
- Free-cash-flow payout14% dividends / (operating cash flow − capex)
Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2025 (dividends paid vs. net income and free cash flow, same fiscal year). This describes PAST coverage for one fiscal year — it does not predict whether a dividend will be maintained, raised, or cut, and a one-year payout ratio can be distorted by non-recurring items. Informational only — not financial advice.

How Booking Holdings looks technically
Booking Holdings (BKNG) is trading 9.1% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 43 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. A trend is forming but not yet strong — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 23 (a reading of 25+ marks a strong trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 46, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). It made a new 20-day low about 10 trading days ago. It is 25.8% below its highest point of the past year. Day-to-day price swings are unusually narrow versus its own recent history — a "Bollinger squeeze" (in the tightest 1% of the past ~6 months), which often precedes a bigger move.
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 9.1% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -9.1% |

| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $180.49 | $180.49 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $180.28 | $180.28 |
| Swing structure | its recent peaks and dips disagree — one of them is rising while the other is not, so there is no clean up or down pattern in the swings | mixed — one of the two is not confirming |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing low 15 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 15 sessions |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 43 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 43 sessions |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | a trend is forming but not yet strong — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 23 (a reading of 25+ marks a strong trend) | 23.3 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 46, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 46.3 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the upper half of its 14-day range ($154.06 to $168.49) — its "stochastic" reading is 68 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been climbing within that range over the last few sessions. | 68.3 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in positive territory (momentum leaning bullish) | 13 sessions |
Range

| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $220.81 | $220.81 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 25.8% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -25.8% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 9.2% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +9.2% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 25.8% below its highest point of the past year | 25.8% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it made a new 20-day low about 10 trading days ago | 10 sessions |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day low about 10 trading days ago | 10 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $233.58 (set on 2025-07-08) | $233.58 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($154.13 to $219.68), and it has recovered only a small part of its fall from last year’s high — 15% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $194.64 to $196.74. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 14.9% |
| From the all-time high | it is 29.8% below its all-time high | -29.8% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 3.9% below a resistance level at $170.26 — a price it turned at four times since 2025-03-13, most recently on 2026-07-23. Since 2024-10-21 it has 2 such levels below the current price and 10 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +3.9% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $0.2515 (set on 2002-10-10) | $0.2515 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 65077.7% above its all-time low | +65,078% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are unusually narrow versus its own recent history — a "Bollinger squeeze" (in the tightest 1% of the past ~6 months), which often precedes a bigger move | 1st percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $5.30 between its high and its low — about 3.2% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $5.30 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $154.74 and $166.28 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $154.74 – $160.51 – $166.28 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 3.2% in a typical session — about typical for the companies we cover. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 3.2% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 3.1 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (9.1% below it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 3.1 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Candlestick patterns

|---|---|---|
| Since a bullish engulfing | 4 sessions ago it opened below the previous session's close and finished above that session's open — a "bullish engulfing" pair, where one up day more than undid the down day before it | 4 sessions ago |
Price gaps
2
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-20 0.6% above the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and had not traded back through that level by the close | +0.6% |
|---|---|---|
| Gap filled | a 2.1% gap up opened on 2026-09-22 has been "filled" 20 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 20 sessions ago |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 2 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: a "golden cross" — its 50-day average is above its 200-day, MACD momentum is positive — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 2 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 3 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: trading below its 200-day average, lagging the market over 6 months, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 3 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 14% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-14 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established downtrend, with the band above acting as the level that would have to be cleared. The band itself is moderate, spanning 2.1% of the share price. | -13.8% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 7% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $176.52 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 197 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -7.1% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 8% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-04 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $178.82 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 55 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -8.3% |
Price levels it has turned at before
BKNG last closed at $163.92 on 2026-10-20. Since 2024-10-21 it has turned at 2 prices below its last close and 10 above; the 2 nearest below and the 3 nearest above are listed, nearest first.
| Level | Side | Distance | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| $170.26 | Resistance | 3.9% above the last close | turned there four times · 2025-03-13 to 2026-07-23 |
| $154.72 | Support | 5.6% below the last close | turned there twice · 2026-09-23 to 2026-10-05 |
| $150.38 | Support | 8.3% below the last close | turned there twice · 2026-02-23 to 2026-05-20 |
| $184.81 | Resistance | 12.7% above the last close | turned there six times · 2025-01-22 to 2026-07-16 |

A level is a price this company reversed or paused at more than once — they describe past behaviour, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Wave structure
No Elliott-wave labelling currently fits its swings: the recent highs and lows do not satisfy the three rules a five-wave count has to obey, so there is no count to show rather than a count we are unsure about.

Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)
- Added:
- Newer filing adds a description of the sequential slowdown in global room nights: 'Global room nights increased 5% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 6% in the first quarter of 2026. The sequential slowdown primarily reflected the continued impact of the conflict in the Middle East throughout the second quarter, whereas the first quarter was partially affected, primarily in March, following the onset of the conflict.'
- Newer filing adds a paragraph describing Middle East conflict impacts during the second quarter: 'During the second quarter, the conflict in the Middle East continued to affect travel demand trends. While direct impacts on travel within the region largely normalized during June, there were continued indirect impacts, including elevated flight ticket prices, reduced flight capacity on certain international routes, and decreased long-haul international travel demand. At the same time, domestic travel... and short-haul regional travel remained relatively healthy, including within Europe, partially offsetting decreased long-haul international travel.'
- Newer filing adds disclosure that the mobile app description changed from 'experiencing the Connected Trip since the app travels with the traveler' to 'delivering the Connected Trip experience, allowing us to engage directly with travelers throughout their journey.'
- Removed:
- Older filing contains first quarter 2026 room night details removed in the newer filing: 'Global room nights increased 6% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2026 and increased by 1% in March. We saw a negative impact on room night growth in the first quarter of 2026 starting with the onset of the conflict in the Middle East, which led to increased cancellations and slower growth in new bookings in March and impacted travel trends both in the Middle East and in other travel corridors such as those between Europe and Asia. Excluding the impact of the conflict in the Middle East, we estimate that our overall room nights were up approximately 8% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2026.'
- Older filing contains a paragraph about potential oil price effects removed in the newer filing: 'The ongoing conflict in the Middle East may adversely affect our results of operations by softening consumer demand for travel. Beyond the direct impact on regional travel patterns, prolonged instability could lead to sustained increases in global oil prices. Such increases would likely result in higher operating costs for travel service providers and elevated prices for consumers, which may further suppress overall travel demand.'
- Reworded:
- Newer filing changes the cancellation rate sentence from first quarter 2026 language ('The cancellation rate in the first quarter of 2026 was lower than the first quarter of 2025, although we experienced a year-over-year increase in cancellation rates during the month of March due to the conflict in the Middle East... Late in the first quarter of 2026, the increase in cancellation rates negatively impacted our marketing efficiency since we incur performance marketing expenses at the time a booking is made even if that booking is canceled in the future.') to second quarter 2026 language ('The cancellation rate in the second quarter of 2026 was lower than the second quarter of 2025. While the conflict in the Middle East continued to affect travel demand during the second quarter, cancellation rates normalized following the elevated levels in March 2026 immediately after the onset of the conflict... Increases in cancellation rates can negatively impact our marketing efficiency as a result of incurring performance marketing expenses at the time a booking is made even though that booking could be canceled in the future.').
- Newer filing changes the ADR sentence from first quarter 2026 ('In the first quarter of 2026, our global average daily rates ("ADRs") on a constant currency basis were approximately 1% higher than the prior year primarily driven by higher ADRs in Europe. Our global ADRs were not materially impacted by changes in regional mix in the first quarter of 2026.') to second quarter 2026 ('In the second quarter of 2026, our global average daily rates ("ADRs") on a constant currency basis were approximately 2% higher than the prior year primarily driven by higher ADRs in Europe and the U.S. Our global ADRs were not materially impacted by changes in regional mix in the second quarter of 2026.').
- Newer filing changes the trailing twelve months mobile app disclosure from 'ended March 31, 2026... ended March 31, 2025' to 'ended June 30, 2026... ended June 30, 2025'.
- Newer filing changes the merchant gross bookings mix from '72% in the first quarter of 2026, an increase from 67% in the first quarter of 2025' to '73% in the second quarter of 2026, an increase from 69% in the second quarter of 2025'.
- Newer filing changes the mobile app purpose sentence from 'Our mobile apps are an important platform for experiencing the Connected Trip since the app travels with the traveler' to 'Our mobile apps are an important platform for delivering the Connected Trip experience, allowing us to engage directly with travelers throughout their journey.'
- Notes:
- The newer filing text appears truncated mid-sentence at the end of the merchant services paragraph ('...which ar' / '...which are recorded in "Personnel" expenses and "Sa' in older). This truncation does not prevent comparison of the earlier portions.
Risk Factors
- Added:
- In the newer filing (2026-08-04), the Risk Factors section states it is supplemented by 'the risk factor set forth in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026'.
- The newer filing (2026-08-04) includes an Item 5 'Other Information' section detailing Rule 10b5-1 trading plans adopted by Ewout Steenbergen on May 13, 2026, and Paulo Pisano on June 1, 2026. This section is not present in the older filing.
- Removed:
- The older filing (2026-04-28) includes a standalone 'Middle East conflict' risk factor paragraph; the newer filing (2026-08-04) no longer contains this text within the Risk Factors section (it instead incorporates the risk factor by reference to the Q1 2026 Form 10-Q).
- The older filing (2026-04-28) includes Exhibit 3.2 (Certificate of Amendment dated June 4, 2021) and Exhibit 3.3 (Certificate of Amendment dated April 2, 2026); these exhibits are not listed in the newer filing (2026-08-04).
- The older filing (2026-04-28) includes footnote references to a stock repurchase program announced on February 23, 2023; these references are not present in the newer filing (2026-08-04).
- Reworded:
- The introductory Risk Factors paragraph changed: the older filing (2026-04-28) states 'This section supplements the Risk Factors described in the 2025 Form 10-K based on recent developments since the 2025 Form 10-K filing', while the newer filing (2026-08-04) removed that sentence and instead states supplementation by reference to the Q1 2026 Form 10-Q risk factor.
- The newer filing (2026-08-04) includes Exhibit 4.1 through 4.9 related to senior notes and an Agency Agreement, which are absent from the older filing (2026-04-28).
- The stock repurchase table in the newer filing (2026-08-04) covers the three months ended June 30, 2026, whereas the older filing (2026-04-28) covers the three months ended March 31, 2026.
- Notes:
- The provided excerpts contain much more than just the Risk Factors section (Item 2, Item 5, Item 6, and signatures). The comparison above reflects changes visible within the full excerpts, not solely within the Risk Factors section.
- The newer filing excerpt does not separately display a 'Middle East conflict' risk factor; because the newer Risk Factors section incorporates the Q1 risk factor by reference, the substance of that risk factor is not included in the newer excerpt for direct comparison.

reported quarterly holdings change (2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30): 0 new, 5 increased, 0 decreased, 0 exited. Change counts cover only managers that filed 13F reports in BOTH quarters, derived between two quarter-end snapshots — not same-day trades; a single manager is never said to have "bought" or "sold".
Institutional holdings are quarter-end long positions reported on SEC Form 13F-HR, filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — they are delayed, are not real-time trades, exclude short positions and most non-US securities, and are not investment advice. Any increase/decrease is a reported change between two quarterly snapshots, not a same-day purchase or sale. These are quarter-end snapshots from the 13F filings on SEC EDGAR, filed within 45 days — not real-time, and any change is a difference between two quarterly reports, not a same-day trade.

Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-30 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
