On August 20, Airbnb, Inc. fell 3.08% in pre-market trading, trading at $180.75/share, with turnover of $4.5427 million.
The decline follows a cumulative gain exceeding 23% in August after the company delivered a strong Q2 earnings beat, with revenue of $3.61 billion surpassing the $3.58 billion consensus and EPS of $1.37 well above the $1.26 estimate. Short-term profit-taking pressure has intensified after the rapid ascent.
On the valuation front, PhillipCapital previously downgraded Airbnb, noting the current P/E ratio of 30.9x has exceeded its two-year historical mean plus one standard deviation level of 29.6x, suggesting the stock carries a valuation premium. Broader sector weakness also weighed on sentiment, with Booking Holdings down 0.61%, Royal Caribbean Cruises down 0.93%, Viking Holdings down 0.85%, Marriott down 0.48%, and Hilton down 0.37%.
