Booking (BKNG.US) Q3 total bookings reached $54.5 billion, exceeding expectations, with adjusted EPS up 17%. Q4 guidance turns cautious due to Middle East situation.

According to Zhihui Finance APP, in the early morning of November 4, Beijing time, Booking Holdings (BKNG.US), the world's largest online travel company, released its 2026 Q3 results after the US stock market closed on Tuesday. Total bookings, room nights, and adjusted earnings for the quarter all exceeded market expectations, with adjusted earnings per share up 17%. However, due to a provision related to a United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) matter, GAAP revenue and net profit both saw modest year-on-year declines. The company also noted that the ongoing Middle East conflict is disrupting the travel industry and impacting demand for the fourth quarter, leading to a cautious Q4 outlook.
