Key Factors to Note

Growing momentum among travelers is likely to have continued driving the Nights and Experiences Booked and Average Daily Rates in the to-be-reported quarter.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Nights and Experiences Booked is pegged at 115 million, indicating growth of 10.6% from the year-ago reported figure.

Airbnb’s strong demand in North America, EMEA and Latin America is likely to have driven the company’s performance in the quarter under review.

Growing momentum in both longer-distance and cross-border travel, owing to relaxed travel restrictions, is likely to have continued aiding the performance in the quarter to be reported.

Increasing guest demand for non-urban nights is expected to have continued driving active listings for non-urban destinations in the quarter under review. ABNB’s rising gross nights booked in high-density urban areas is likely to have been another positive.

All these factors are expected to have driven growth in gross booking value (GBV) in the second quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for GBV is pegged at $18.65 billion, reflecting growth of 9.8% from the reported figure in the year-ago quarter.

However, macroeconomic headwinds and unfavorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations are likely to have hurt Airbnb.

Intense competition in the online travel market is anticipated to have remained an overhang in the to-be-reported quarter.
