Booking Holdings reported third-quarter room nights sold of 345 million, surpassing the 339.24 million consensus estimate. The company guided fourth-quarter gross bookings growth of 2% to 4% and room nights growth of 1% to 3%. The beat on a key operating metric signals resilient travel demand heading into the year-end period. Investors will watch whether the modest Q4 guidance reflects seasonal normalization or softening consumer travel spend.
