Wedbush analyst James Hardiman raised his price target for Booking Holdings to $1.950 from $1,850 saying that Q2 was "a welcome surprise" following a Q4 print and guide that "spooked investors" with regards to the European outlook and even a Q1 print that did little to alleviate these concerns. The analyst notes that the company seems to be back to its standard of comfortably exceeding quarterly expectations and providing a quarterly guidance that, while certainly not blowing away Street estimates, does encompass the consensus. Hardiman reiterates a Neutral rating on the shares.
