Read MoreHide Full Article

Airbnb (ABNB - Free Report) is set to report fourth-quarter 2020 results on Feb 25.

On Dec 14, 2020 Airbnb completed its initial public offering. Hence, the fourth-quarter results will be its first quarterly earnings report since becoming a publicly traded company.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues currently stands at $735.1 million.

For the quarter, the consensus mark for loss has improved by a penny to $9.18 per share over the past 30 days.

Airbnb dominates the home-sharing platform in the travel market space. The company estimates serviceable addressable market to be $1.5 trillion, comprising $1.2 trillion for short-term stays and $239 billion for experiences.
 

 

Airbnb’s hosts span more than 220 countries and regions, and approximately 100,000 cities. Markedly, almost 55% of the company’s hosts are women.

As of Sep 30, 2020, Airbnb had more than 4 million hosts around the world, with 86% of the same located outside of the United States.

The company’s superior brand value and strong consumer awareness are expected to have driven top-line growth in the fourth quarter. Moreover, its strong host network is likely to have aided growth in the to-be-reported quarter.

However, the coronavirus outbreak severely impacted Airbnb’s business, and is also expected to have hurt the company’s top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
