Wall Street expects Booking Holdings (BKNG) to report higher year-over-year earnings on higher revenue for the quarter ended September 2026, with consensus EPS of $4.48 (up 12.6%) and revenue of $9.56 billion (up 6.2%). The report is expected on November 3, and the consensus EPS estimate has risen 0.05% over the last 30 days. The Earnings ESP is +1.22%, but the stock carries a Zacks Rank of #4, which the article says makes it difficult to conclusively predict a beat. Last quarter, Booking posted EPS of $2.54 versus an expected $2.45, a surprise of +3.67%, and it has beaten consensus EPS four times over the last four quarters. The article notes that the stock's reaction will also depend on management commentary and other factors beyond the earnings surprise.

- Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Q3 2026 Earnings Call Summary
- Why Royal Caribbean Stock Climbed Today
Royal Caribbean shares rallied Tuesday after the cruise operator reported higher-than-expected profit and raised its full-year earnings forecast. Third-quarter revenue rose 9% year over year to $5.6 billion. Adjusted net income climbed 12% to $1.8 billion, or $6.57 per share, beating analysts' estimate of $6.38. The company now expects full-year adjusted EPS of $17.85 to $17.95, up from $17.73 to $17.87. In September it agreed to acquire a 50% stake in Sandals and Beaches Resorts, giving access to 18 Caribbean resorts with more under construction. CEO Jason Liberty said 2027 bookings are pacing ahead of historical levels at higher rates.
- Travelzoo Q3 Earnings Call Highlights
Travelzoo's third-quarter revenue rose 3% year over year to $22.9 million, but the company posted a $2.6 million loss, compared with a $0.5 million operating profit a year earlier, as it accelerated marketing to add paid Club Members. Club Members grew 65% year over year, the largest quarterly addition to date, while the average acquisition cost fell to $54 from $62 in the prior quarter. Management estimates the membership push could add $1.20 to 2027 earnings per share, although acquisition costs are expensed immediately while subscription revenue is recognized over the membership period. Deferred revenue stands at about $13 million, and the company projects membership revenue above $30 million in 2027. Revenue at Jack's Flight Club declined in the quarter.
- MakeMyTrip Shares Rise 4.8% as Q2 Profit Improves Despite Revenue Missing Estimates
MakeMyTrip (NASDAQ: MMYT) reported second-quarter fiscal 2027 adjusted EPS of $0.47, in line with analyst estimates, but revenue of $235.2 million, up 2.5% year on year, fell short of the $267.4 million expected. On a constant currency basis, revenue rose 11.2%; the company said the Indian rupee depreciated about 10% against the US dollar during the quarter. Demand for international long-haul outbound travel from India weakened due to higher travel costs from elevated fuel prices and the weaker rupee, while domestic travel demand grew strongly and partly offset the decline. Adjusted net profit before tax rose 27% to $46.2 million, and gross bookings reached $2.72 billion, up 11.3% (20.9% at constant currency). Adjusted margin for hotels and packages reached $116.8 million, up 10.4%, supported by an 18.5% increase in hotel room nights booked.
- Dam Sen Operator Continues to Post Losses
Phú Thọ Tourist (DSP), operator of Đầm Sen park, posted an after-tax loss of over VND15.3 billion in Q3, though the loss narrowed sharply from over VND55.3 billion a year earlier. Net revenue for the quarter reached over VND50.4 billion, up about 12%, but cost of sales of over VND66 billion still exceeded revenue, with land lease costs accounting for about 35% of total cost of sales. For the first nine months, the company lost over VND28.1 billion after tax, bringing accumulated losses to over VND417 billion, while owners' equity stood at VND839.4 billion. The company says urban parks, walking streets and large commercial centres attract local visitors with free or low-cost activities, and competition from Suối Tiên, VinWonders and others means fewer repeat visits. It aims to renew its products for Gen Z, Gen Alpha and families, and to resolve land-use rights and the 1/500 detailed planning, its biggest obstacles to large-scale investment.

- TSLA Stock Rises As Cybercabs Overtake Model Ys In Authorized Texas Robotaxi Fleet
Data from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles shows Tesla's purpose-built Cybercab, a steering-wheel-free robotaxi, has become the majority of its authorized robotaxi fleet in Texas for the first time, with 544 of 1,051 vehicles. Model Y accounts for 507, a shift from early October when the registry showed 319 Cybercabs against 420 Model Ys. The data covers authorization only, not whether vehicles are operating or carrying riders. Cybercabs currently run only in Austin, while Tesla's robotaxis operate in Austin, Houston, Dallas and parts of Florida; Tesla said it is looking to add Cybercabs in Dallas next month.

- Why Brown & Brown Stock Slumped by 5% Today
Brown & Brown's third-quarter revenue was almost $1.73 billion, up more than 7% from a year earlier but below the analyst average of $1.76 billion. GAAP net income rose almost 6% to $240 million, while adjusted earnings per share inched up nearly 2% to $1.07, short of the $1.09 consensus. The company cited a challenging rate environment of softening insurance premiums and said the Accession Risk Management Group acquisition, a $9.8 billion deal in 2025, helped results. Organic revenue, which excludes acquisitions, rose barely over 1% to $1.46 billion, pointing to weakness in the legacy business. The stock closed nearly 5% lower on Tuesday amid a broad investor sell-off.
- Penguin Solutions, Broadcom, FormFactor, Lattice Semiconductor, and AMD stocks trade up, what you need to know

- Investing $1,000 in Each of These 3 Stocks 20 Years Ago Would Have Created a Portfolio Worth $674,000 Today
The article calculates that a $1,000 investment in each of Nvidia, Netflix and Amazon 20 years ago would be worth about $674,000 combined as of October 26. Nvidia's stake would be worth about $383,000, with most gains coming in the past couple of years as generative AI took off; the chipmaker's operating profit totaled nearly $200 billion over the past four quarters, its market cap is around $5.3 trillion, and it trades at 28 times trailing earnings. Netflix's stake would be worth more than $161,000, but its stock has fallen this year on concerns about slowing growth and is trading near its 52-week low. Amazon's stake would be worth about $130,000, and its operating income last year reached $80 billion, more than six times the $12 billion of three years earlier; the stock trades at around 20 times trailing earnings. The author argues these growth stocks can still be good buys today.
- Western Digital, Allegro MicroSystems, Amtech, and Teradyne shares skyrocket, what you need to know
Several semiconductor stocks rose sharply in the afternoon session after Broadcom obtained $63 billion in bank financing to develop proprietary AI chips for Anthropic.

Citing CNBC, the article says semiconductor fabrication equipment spending is projected to exceed $200 billion in 2027, as demand outpaces clean-room capacity and the availability of critical parts.
- Is Benz Mining (TSXV:BZ) Cheap On Icon Drilling Results Or Already Priced In?
Benz Mining (TSXV:BZ) reported extensive drilling results from the Icon gold camp at its Glenburgh Gold Project in Western Australia, confirming repeated stacked high-grade gold lenses. The share price rose 11.03% on the day and 10.47% over the past week, but fell 15.62% over 30 days; it is up 180.38% year to date and returned 205.52% over 12 months. A valuation narrative cited in the article puts fair value at CA$6.28 versus a last close of CA$4.43, implying 29% undervaluation. The article notes the market values Benz above C$1 billion without a current maiden Mineral Resource, and the stock trades at 26.4 times book value versus 2.2 times for the Canadian metals and mining group. Risks include less of the Exploration Target converting into compliant ounces than hoped or weaker project economics in future studies.
