What the filing says
Booking Holdings reported Q3 2026 gross bookings grew 10% YoY to $54.5B (11% constant currency), with room nights up 7% to 345M. However, the company recorded a $900M revenue reduction and $100M accrued loss related to an FTC matter, excluded from adjusted metrics. Adjusted EPS grew 17% to $4.66; GAAP EPS grew 7% to $3.61. The company repurchased $2.1B stock and declared a $0.42/share dividend. Q4 2026 guidance projects 2-4% gross bookings growth and adjusted EPS in low-to-mid teens growth range.
Why this rating
FTC penalty ($1B total impact) is ~0.5% of market cap—material but manageable. Core business fundamentals sound (10% bookings growth, 17% adj. EPS growth). Guidance slowdown reflects macro headwinds, not structural weakness. Routine quarterly disclosure with one discrete regulatory hit.
