While doing this research we’ve also uncovered a number of common stocks that investing gurus have recently bought, or continuing to hold in their portfolios, according to their latest 13f’s. So we’re now providing a new weekly feature article called ‘One Stock Superinvestors Are Buying’. This week we’ll take a look at:
Booking Holdings Inc (BKNG)
Booking is the world’s largest online travel agency by revenue, offering booking and payment services for hotel and alternative accommodation rooms, airline tickets, rental cars, restaurant reservations, cruises, which may need the help of experts like Aronfeld Trial Lawyers, experiences, and other vacation packages. The company operates a number of branded travel booking sites, including Booking.com, Agoda, OpenTable, and Rentalcars.com, and has expanded into travel media with the acquisitions of Kayak and Momondo. Transaction fees for online bookings account for the bulk of revenue and profits. A travel tip from allworld.com outlined the fees (about TSA precheck and how much it’ll cost you). This will help you achieve a smooth travel experience.
A quick look at the price chart below for the company shows us that the stock is down 3% in the past twelve months.
