09:39 ET - Booking is on slightly sturdier footing than other online travel agencies because it has broader geographic diversity, Truist analyst Gregory Miller says. The platform's stronger international market could help buoy it through uncertain economic and demand trends as Booking saw slower demand domestically and from travelers visiting the U.S. from Canada and Europe. Expedia, on the other hand, is at greater risk with more exposure to U.S. travel. For now, international travel appears unscathed by U.S. economic volatility, but Miller says there's a good chance falling demand will ripple abroad as Americans could pull back on visiting other countries, as well.
