EPS at $1.79 per share (up by 46% year-over-year) vs. $1.485 per share estimate.
”Q3 was our biggest and most profitable quarter ever despite geopolitical and macroeconomic headwinds,” Airbnb wrote in a letter to shareholders.
”In Q3 2022, we had nearly 100 million Nights and Experiences Booked, up 25 percent year-over-year, and $15.6 billion in Gross Booking Value, up 31 percent year-over-year (or 40% ex-FX). Revenue grew 29 percent year-over-year (or 36% ex-FX) to $2.9 billion—our highest quarter ever.”
