Executive summary

Airbnb runs an online marketplace that connects people who want to rent out homes and unique places with travellers looking for stays and experiences. Hosts set their own prices and rules, while the company handles search, payments, reviews and customer support. It earns money by charging service fees to guests and hosts on each booking, so its revenue follows travel demand and the number of nights booked on the platform.

Revenue over the last twelve months came to $13.2 billion, and sales grew by 13.4% a year on average across the past three years. Operating margin is 20.8%. Net debt to EBITDA is -3.5 times, which means it holds more cash than debt. The company does not pay a dividend. These figures describe past results and the present financial position only.

StocksXray gives Airbnb, Inc. an X-Ray Score of 51 out of 100 (medium confidence), ahead of 60% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is growth (79) and its weakest is valuation (17).

Our fair value blend is $143.02 (range $120.56 to $157.01). At $173.70 the stock trades 21% above that blend, so the label is "Fair" with medium model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
