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.

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.

Growing Average Daily Rates and Gross Booking Value are likely to have contributed well in the to-be-reported quarter.

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

Also, the coronavirus pandemic-led disruptions are expected to have continued acting as overhangs for the company in the fourth quarter.
