Booking Holdings director Robert J. Mylod Jr. sold 5,000 shares of the company’s stock on July 29, 2026, a $1 million open-market transaction priced at $200 per share. $BKNG closed that day at $201.30. He now holds 16,000 shares indirectly. The required Form 4 was filed with the SEC on July 30, one day post-trade.
The sale dwarfed any single-day open-market activity Mylod had reported in the preceding year. On February 2, 2026, he completed six separate open-market sales for roughly $117,400 total; the largest was $35,800. On January 2, he sold five parcels for about $84,600, with individual trades topping out at $31,700. Earlier transactions included a $200,000 sale on December 2, 2025, and another $200,000 sale on November 7, 2025. None of those earlier days saw an aggregate above $250,000, and no single trade reached $100,000. The July 2026 transaction, at $1 million, was in a different league.
During the period reviewed, Mylod filed only open-market sales of $BKNG stock. He sits on the board of Booking Holdings, a $156 billion market-cap company in the Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure sector, placing him among the firm’s top decision-makers. The 16,000 shares he still holds indirectly preserve his equity stake.
Members of Congress were trading $BKNG in 2026 too, though at much smaller sums. Representative Josh Gottheimer, a New Jersey Democrat, disclosed a $1,001 sale that took place on June 1, 2026, with the disclosure filed on July 7, a gap of 36 days. Representative Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, reported a $15,001 sale on May 27, disclosed 13 days later on June 9. He also disclosed a smaller $1,001 sale on May 15, 2026, and had been an active trader in $BKNG throughout the year, with multiple purchases and sales recorded in 2026. Representative Gilbert Cisneros, another California Democrat, reported a $1,001 sale on May 15, disclosed on June 8. All congressional transaction amounts reflect the midpoint of disclosure ranges mandated by the STOCK Act.
In the weeks surrounding Mylod's July sale, no other corporate insiders at Booking Holdings filed open-market trading disclosures with the SEC. Mylod's Form 4 was the only insider trade reported on the $BKNG ticker in the July-through-early-August 2026 window.
