Airbnb’s business is picking up speed again Airbnb, Inc. Class ABATS:ABNBtradingstocksdpHere is my post: https://x.com/Arshivad1/status/2121720267538104411?a=p5HfXXoYVLTy0xFVqmw&s=20 Airbnb just had its best growth quarter in more than three years. Bookings jumped, revenue grew almost 20%, and more people (especially first timers and younger guests) are using the platform. The company raised its forecast for the rest of the year and is making solid profits while buying back a lot of its own stock. A big part of the story is that they’re moving faster. AI is helping them roll out new features quickly, improve search, and handle a lot of customer support without humans. They’re also expanding beyond regular homes, adding more boutique hotels and services like grocery delivery and laundry so guests can book more of the trip in one place. They’re working on their own AI trip planner that should start rolling out next year. On top of that, they’re simplifying how money works. Most hosts now pay one fee (around 15.5%) instead of the old split, so the price you see is closer to what you actually pay. And starting November 20, there’s a change, guests will notice more directly: hosts can’t pile on heavy checkout chores anymore. No more making you strip the beds, wash all the dishes, or haul the trash out. You can still be asked to do light stuff like putting dishes in the sink or gathering towels, but the real cleaning is supposed to be on the host. They’re also limiting surprise fines, extra contracts, and collecting personal info unless there’s a real reason. Rules have to be clear on the listing before you book. They are making positive steps in improving guest experiences hence they are seeing improvements in their earnings. It is showing great relative strength as the market is correcting. I believe, the stock is primed for a great 2027.
