Just 12 years ago, Booking Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: BKNG), formerly known as Priceline, was trading around $48.
Today BKNG stock is over $2,100, having multiplied more than 46-fold in that time.

That may be why Booking Holdings has invested more than half a million dollars in this company. The board must have recognized an opportunity to repeat the kind of success it has enjoyed in the U.S. market.
Best of all, this company may be in an even better position than Priceline ever was…
