Booking's third-quarter revenue increased 9% (ahead of its 4%-6% guidance), driven by 7% room-night growth. Adjusted EBITDA was also up 9%. The company maintained its high-single-digit revenue growth target for 2026.
Emerging markets should see strong online travel booking growth over the next 10 years, given middle-income households' increased online usage, and Booking is well positioned.
Google's continued emphasis on placing its paid ads and metasearch platform ahead of free organic search links could place marketing cost pressure on Booking Holdings.
