- What Does Booking Holdings Offer That Expedia Does Not?
Expedia stock returned 26.4% over the past year while Booking lost 25.9%, as Expedia's B2B partner business drove its second-quarter revenue growth and Booking relies on travelers who visit Booking.com directly. In its August 5 report, Expedia raised its 2026 revenue forecast to $16.1 billion at the midpoint from $15.8 billion and lifted its gross bookings forecast to $130 billion from $128 billion. Booking lowered its gross bookings outlook, mainly due to slower growth in flight tickets, even though its second-quarter revenue rose 8.1%. At the end of June, Expedia's cash and short-term investments exceeded its debt by $1.44 billion, while Booking's debt was $3.48 billion higher than its cash. Over the twelve months to June, Booking kept 34.5% of revenue as operating profit against 17.4% for Expedia, yet the two trade at similar earnings multiples of 16.0 and 16.7 times.
- McDonald's Corporation Q3 2026 Earnings Call Summary

McDonald's is expected to report third-quarter earnings before the bell on Wednesday. Analysts surveyed by LSEG expect earnings per share of $3.38 and revenue of $7.29 billion. Last quarter, the U.S. business fell short due to uneven execution of value offers and complicated menu launches, and the company tapped Skye Anderson as its new U.S. president. StreetAccount estimates that same-store sales declined 0.5% in the third quarter, and investors will watch commentary on the fourth quarter after Chipotle said traffic softened in October. Shares have fallen about 11% over the past year on concerns about the U.S. business, expensive restaurant upgrade plans and the broader economy, and the company has a market cap of roughly $186 billion.

- McDonald's Is Crowned a Dividend King. Is Owning 65 Shares Worth It for $500 in Yearly Dividend Income?
McDonald's has raised its dividend for 50 consecutive years, making it one of 59 Dividend Kings. Buying 65 shares costs nearly $16,000 for about $500 in annual dividends, with a forward yield of nearly 3.2%. Shares are down nearly 30% from February's peak amid food price inflation and pressure on lower-income customers, and Q2 revenue rose 4% to $7.1 billion but missed estimates. The author notes that longer-term Treasuries yielding above 5% are a competing option for income investors.
- McDonald's Is 29% Below Its 52-Week High and Yields 3.2%. Is This the Best Entry Point in Years?
McDonald's (MCD) shares trade 29% below their 52-week high of $341.75 and have fallen 20.6% in 2026, the third-worst performer in the Dow Jones Industrial Average after IBM and Nike. The stock closed at $242.67 on Oct. 19 and yields 3.2%, nearly triple the S&P 500's dividend yield. McDonald's raised its dividend nearly 4% last month, its 50th consecutive annual increase, a pace above the September consumer price index rise of 3.7% year over year. If Morningstar is right, the payout could grow about 9% annually on average over the next decade. The article attributes the slump to higher costs, inflation-sensitive consumers and execution problems that CEO Chris Kempczinski acknowledges, and points to the NEXT plan, which includes AI, store revamps, simpler operations and a simpler menu, aiming to add $100,000 in annual cash flow per average location.

- Russia, China may be more aggressive if they feel Trump is on "his way out": Brookings
Brookings Institution senior fellow Robert Kagan told CNBC that Russia and China could act more aggressively within two years if they judge President Donald Trump politically weakened and “on his way out” after Democrats won both chambers of Congress. He argued the war with Iran exposed US military limits, as missile-defense interceptors were heavily depleted and three aircraft carriers were sent to the Middle East, reducing US naval presence in Asia. Kagan said Trump’s main interest now is economic deals with China, which could push Beijing to be even more aggressive. Trump approved an $11 billion arms package for Taiwan in December but held back a second package of about $14 billion, calling it a “bargaining chip” in talks with China. Meanwhile, the three countries are discussing a possible Trump–Xi–Putin summit at APEC in Shenzhen later this month, though no agenda has been announced.
