what happened
Airbnb shares rose almost 12% in premarket trading on Friday after the home-rental platform raised its full-year revenue growth forecast, betting on steady global demand for leisure travel, Reuters reported.
The move stood out against cautious comments from rivals Booking Holdings, Expedia and TripAdvisor, which pointed to higher airfares tied to the Iran war and unrest in parts of Europe. Airbnb now expects revenue growth in the “high teens”, up from “at least mid-teens” previously.
CEO Brian Chesky said the company was “back in growth mode”, with nights and seats booked up 16% to 155 million in the third quarter.
why it matters
The results suggest demand for stays can hold up even as rivals warn about travel costs. Investors in online travel will also weigh Airbnb's push into hotels and its AI-powered trip planner, which could sharpen competition with Booking and Expedia.
