← Back to Full Coverage: Stock Market Live February 10, 2026: S&P 500 (SPY) Down from Record Highs

Shares of Booking Holdings (BKNG) are up $86 to $4,322.

That’s after the travel stock gapped from about $5,100 to a low of $4,175 on AI fears. Just this morning, Gordon Haskett Research Advisors said BKNG was being overlooked because of those fears, with a buy rating and a price target of $5,440.

“We believe investors have overreacted to AI-driven competitive encroachment concerns and discounted key aspects of BKNG’s operational advantages and defensive positioning,” said the firm as quoted by CNBC.

“BKNG’s advantages, combined with high startup costs and legal risks associated with building a competing online travel platform, should serve as a deterrent to AI companies directly competing.”

BKNG also has earnings coming up on February 18.
