7/29/25 - $bkng - probs a beat...Booking Holdings Inc. Common StockNASDAQ:BKNGVROCKSTAR7/29/25 :: VROCKSTAR :: BKNG probs a beat... - while everyone's happy to pay 150x for PLTR... there r a lot of consumer names that seem to be trapped in trump tariff paralysis. - what happened... is trump... caused a dip... consumer spending paused... then nothing happened... and all that pent up demand came right back in the last quarter... most consumer names are demonstrating just this - so while on any given consumer name there r specifics that i'm not tuned into... and also some biz models r ostensibly better than others e.g. bkng > abnb - at 5% fcf yield, leadership position... not even 30x PE - i just don't get what's not to like here, remember: own the consumer interface (these r the winners in the next 5 yrs... not the backend/ not the saas... the person who owns the interface wins) V
