Artisan Global Opportunities Fund made the following comment about Airbnb, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABNB) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:
“Airbnb, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABNB) is the world’s largest, well-known and fastest growing provider of short-term rental properties via a simple and intuitive online platform. The company has been benefiting from a strong recovery in travel demand so far this year, but shares have been weaker alongside growth stocks in general. Recent results showed nearly 100 million nights booked, up 25% YoY, gross booking value growth of 31% and revenue growth of 29%. We believe Airbnb will continue to generate attractive top-line growth that will outpace that of overall travel. From a demand perspective, we expect the company to continue to maintain its leadership in long-term stays and benefit from a recovery in urban, cross-border and APAC re-opening. The company has rolled out products to improve its value proposition to travelers and hosts, including “Smart Pricing” to ensure its supply continues to provide relative value to consumers, “Aircover for Hosts” to increase supply and “Categories” to better match consumer demand to available supply. Given these profit cycle tailwinds and shares trading at an attractive discount to our PMV estimate, we remain invested.”
