The past couple weeks have been, shall we say, volatile for Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB). Ever since reporting earnings on Nov. 4, ABNB stock has spiked approximately 18%. However, over this past week alone, shares dipped approximately 10% mid-week before seeing an end-of-week recovery.
Today, shares of ABNB stock are up more than 6% at the time of this writing on heavy volume. This move comes as investors continue to digest the direction Airbnb could be headed, following the company’s recent earnings release.
With a lack of real news driving the price action we’ve seen in ABNB stock in recent days, it appears to be a continued post-earnings rally that’s largely causing this upward momentum. So, with this context, let’s dive into a few things that investors like about the company’s recent numbers.
