Watching out for BKNG's upcoming earnings report? Here's a recap of what's going on with the stock.

Booking Holdings Inc (BKNG) is ready to report earnings on August 03. Here's a few things you should know about before they make the announcement.

Analysts forecasts have Booking Holdings Inc reporting an EPS (earnings per share) of $17.59, EPS GAAP Estimate of $15.98, and a Revenue Estimate of $4.35B on Wednesday. Over the last 90 days, there have been 18 downward revisions to estimates against 5 upwards. 

Bulls will want to hear that the company beat the analysts' estimates and is set to grow in coming quarters. Just as important as the earnings report, is the company's future.

Grizzly bears possess a biting force of over 1200 PSI, which is enough to crush a bowling ball or an iron skillet. BKNG bears cannot do that, but they can listen for news that the company underperformed analysts' estimates for EPS. They'll also want to hear about a negative growth story that frames the company's future as one of deceleration or even decline in revenues over the following quarters.

Regardless of which side of the fence you're on, it's important to note that sometimes the company's earnings report plays less of a role in moving the price than the analysts' estimates. This is because the company's earnings report is a snapshot of the company's performance, and the analysts' estimates are a consensus projection of the company's future.

As of July 26 shares of BKNG are trading at $1834.67. Over the last 52-week period, the price is down -32.44%. A larger move here can mean investors will have a stronger bullish or bearish outlook on the stock.
