Booking Holdings (BKNG) saw its stock surge 5.07% intraday on Tuesday, driven by positive developments from its subsidiary OpenTable. OpenTable, a global leader in restaurant technology, released its annual Top 100 Restaurants in Canada for 2025 and highlighted key dining trends for 2026, including a rise in group dining and Gen Z's increasing influence on the restaurant industry.
The report, which analyzed over 1 million diner reviews, showcased strong growth in OpenTable's business metrics, such as a 28% year-over-year increase in group dining and a 30% rise in early dining reservations. These trends are expected to bolster OpenTable's performance, indirectly benefiting its parent company, Booking Holdings. The positive outlook for OpenTable's business likely contributed to investor optimism, driving BKNG's stock higher during the trading session.
