Airbnb Q3 Earnings Preview: Options Market Signals 7.95% Volatility
Airbnb's third-quarter earnings report looms, with derivatives traders pricing in a near-8% swing—more than double the stock's historical post-earnings moves. The implied volatility reflects heightened scrutiny of the travel platform's ability to sustain growth against mounting competition and regulatory headwinds.
Wall Street anticipates $2.31 EPS and $4.08 million revenue, marking year-over-year improvements. Last quarter's 12.7% revenue growth and record 134.4 million nights booked set a high bar. The stock's 8.5% YTD underperformance amplifies stakes for this earnings call.
