The stock tumbled 10% in response, marking its worst decline since the early days of the pandemic.

"Booking Holdings Inc. Surges with AI Stock, Outperforms Market"

While Microsoft often dominates the conversation when it comes to artificial intelligence (AI), investors should consider buying shares of Booking Holdings, an under-the-radar AI stock that could benefit from the AI trend. Booking's management aims to create a "connected trip" where users book every aspect of their travel on its platform directly, and they are training their AI to act as a travel agent to make this vision a reality. By processing customers' payments itself, Booking can boost its cash flow and potentially increase revenue as users book more of their travel arrangements on the platform. With the potential for market-beating returns, Booking Holdings is a sneaky AI stock worth considering.

Navigating the Costly Summer Travel Season: Tips and Top Destinations.

International travel demand is booming, but airfares and hotel room rates are also increasing, making it an expensive summer for travelers.
