Factors to Consider

Airbnb is expected to have continued gaining from the ongoing vaccination drive-led recovery in the travel trends in the to-be-reported quarter.

Strengthening travel demand in Europe and North America, removing travel restrictions, and growing travelers' preferences toward crossing the border for vacation are likely to have been significant tailwinds for the company.

Amid this, the company is anticipated to have witnessed strong growth in its Nights and Experiences Booked number in the third quarter. This, in turn, is likely to have driven growth in its Gross Booking Value.

Airbnb’s growing efforts toward product innovations are anticipated to have been positives. Its new search products, which offer flexibility during the planning and booking of trips, are likely to have aided the company in gaining momentum among travelers in the third quarter.

In addition to these, growing momentum in hosting is expected to have bolstered the company’s active listings in the quarter under review.

However, uncertainties associated with the ongoing pandemic and the Delta variant are anticipated to have persisted as significant headwinds for the company in the quarter-to-be-reported.
