Airbnb beats revenue estimates but misses earnings, raises full-year outlook

Airbnb reported Q1 revenue of $2.7 billion, beating expectations, but earnings per share of $0.26 fell short of estimates. The company saw 18% revenue growth and a 24% rise in adjusted EBITDA, driven by strong app bookings and growth in markets like India and Brazil. Despite geopolitical uncertainties causing cancellations, Airbnb raised its full-year revenue growth forecast to low-to-mid teens and expects an adjusted EBITDA margin of at least 35% in 2026. The company plans continued investment in marketing, international expansion, and AI technology.
