Airbnb reported third quarter earnings per share of $3.16, which was 8.6% above the $2.91 forecast, a gap of $0.25. Revenue came in at $4.9 billion against a forecast of $4.8 billion, which is 0.5% above the forecast.
Earnings and revenue against forecast
The earnings figure was the larger of the two gaps measured against forecast. Revenue was above its forecast by $24.8 million, a much smaller margin in percentage terms, though the company’s own filing gives the revenue figure only as a rounded billion-dollar amount. The figures were published in the company’s filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on 5 November 2026, and the company itself gave the results for the third quarter of its fiscal 2026, a period that may not match the calendar year.
The results are the company’s own, taken from the exhibit it filed with the SEC on the same date.
Market backdrop
On the same day, the Nasdaq Composite stood at 24,315.00 points, down 5.52% from the previous close, which MacroHerald measured at 22:55 GMT on 5 November 2026. The index’s level was its lowest in 31 days.
