Airbnb (NASDAQ: ABNB) reported Q1 EPS of $0.26, $0.05 worse than the analyst estimate of $0.31. Revenue for the quarter came in at $2.68 billion versus the consensus estimate of $2.62 billion.
GUIDANCE:
Airbnb sees Q2 2026 revenue of $3.54-3.6 billion, versus the consensus of $3.459 billion.
In Q2 2026, we expect GBV to increase in the low double digits year-over-year, driven by
growth in Nights and Seats Booked and a moderate increase in ADR. We expect the FX
tailwind to ADR to be significantly lower in Q2 2026 than in Q1.
¦ In Q2 2026, we expect Nights and Seats booked growth to slightly decelerate, relative to
Q1 2026, assuming an estimated roughly 100bps headwind related to the conflict in the
Middle East.
¦ We expect Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to be up year-over-year in Q2 2026.
Full-Year 2026
¦ For 2026, we are raising our guidance and now expect year-over-year revenue growth to
accelerate to low to mid teens.
¦ For 2026, we now expect our Adjusted EBITDA Margin to be at least 35%. We will continue
to prioritize reinvestment to support growth across the business, specifically on efficient
marketing spend, international expansion, and AI initiatives
