Airbnb Inc (NASDAQ:ABNB, ETR:6Z1) is expected to post strong year-over-year growth in its profits and revenue for the first quarter when it hands down its latest earnings report after the market closes on Wednesday, May 8.
The alternative accommodation provider expects to report revenue growth between 12% and 14% year-over-year to $2.03 billion to $2.07 billion.
Analysts expect revenue to come in at the top end of this guidance range at $2.07 billion.
Airbnb noted that revenue growth in the quarter will benefit from the timing of Easter by between 1 to 2 percentage points at the expense of the second quarter.
Implied take rate, which is revenue divided by gross booking value (GBV), is also expected to be “notably higher” due to the timing of Easter, Airbnb said.
Earnings per share are expected to grow almost 30% to $0.23, Wall Street analysts believe.
For nights booked, due to a strong growth rate of 19% in the year-ago quarter, Airbnb expects its growth rate to be moderate relative to the fourth quarter of 2023.
Average daily rate (ADR), a measure of the average daily rate paid by guests, is expected to be flat to slightly up from the year-ago quarter.
Shares of Airbnb traded flat at about $160 on Tuesday afternoon and have added almost 20% so far in 2024.
