July 29 (Reuters) - Online travel agency Booking

Holdings ( BKNG ) beat Wall Street expectations for

bookings offset weak travel spending in the U.S.

Booking Holdings ( BKNG ) said it expects third-quarter revenue

growth in the range of 7% to 9% and room nights growth in the

range of 3.5% to 5.5%.

quarterly profit of $55.40 per share, compared with analysts'

estimates of $50.22 per share, according to data compiled by

LSEG.

Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30 was $6.8

billion, up 16% from a year earlier. Analysts, on average, were

expecting revenue of $6.57 billion.
