Shareholders
Shareholders of Booking Holdings Inc.
As a Nasdaq-listed public company, Booking Holdings Inc. does not maintain a publicly disclosed complete shareholder register. Ownership is instead evidenced by periodic beneficial-ownership filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which capture only holders of 5 percent or more of outstanding shares. Based on the most recent Schedule 13G filings identified, Vanguard Capital Management (a reporting entity within the Vanguard fund complex following a January 2026 internal realignment of The Vanguard Group’s reporting structure) disclosed beneficial ownership of 2,396,591 shares, representing 7.56 percent of the class, in a Schedule 13G filed April 29, 2026, held in a passive investment capacity. BlackRock, Inc. most recently disclosed beneficial ownership of approximately 2,573,532 shares in a Schedule 13G/A. Aggregated institutional-ownership data (13D/13F/13G filings) also identifies State Street Corp, T. Rowe Price Associates, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Geode Capital Management, Susquehanna International Group, Dodge & Cox and Capital World Investors as holders, though current exact percentages for these were not individually confirmed against primary SEC filings in this review.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
Booking Holdings Inc. is a widely held, Nasdaq-listed public company. No natural-person ultimate beneficial owner is disclosed or applicable. Its identified major holders are institutional asset managers holding shares on behalf of underlying fund investors in a passive capacity; none was identified in reviewed sources as exercising control consistent with a UBO designation.
Data availability
Disclosure is major shareholders only: SEC rules require Schedule 13D/13G reporting solely for holders of 5 percent or more of a class, so shareholders below that threshold are not individually identified, and beneficial ownership figures change over time as funds file updated reports.
