Airbnb $ABNB rises 9% as Q2 revenue grows 17% to $3.6B

Airbnb $ABNB rose 9% after reporting Q2 2026 revenue of $3.6 billion, up 17% year over year, and gross booking value of $27.2 billion, up 16%. The company’s shareholder letter also showed net income of $816 million, adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 billion, and 148.3 million Nights and Seats Booked, up 10%.

The market reaction reflected both the beat and the outlook. CNBC’s market report cited the 9% stock move after the release. Airbnb guided Q3 revenue to $4.69 billion to $4.77 billion, equal to 15% to 17% year-over-year growth, including an approximate three-point foreign-exchange tailwind.

The operating details were stronger than a single revenue line. Airbnb said U.S., France, UK, and Australia origin nights all accelerated in Q2. App nights booked increased 23% year over year and accounted for 64% of total nights booked, up from 59% a year earlier. Asia Pacific nights grew in the high teens, while Latin America nights grew about 20%.

Management raised full-year 2026 guidance to at least mid-teens revenue growth and an adjusted EBITDA margin of at least 35.5%. The next numbers to watch are Q3 revenue against the $4.69 billion to $4.77 billion range, the pace of Nights and Seats Booked, and whether app-driven conversion continues to offset travel-demand volatility.
