Quality

82

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 82 of 100, in the strongest band of the covered universe. The underlying fundamental measurements behind this reading are consistent rather than mixed.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Deteriorating

39

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 39 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as deteriorating. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Favorable

65

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 65 of 100, recorded as favorable. No dividend is recorded for this company, so the reading rests on buybacks and dilution control. Share count has been reduced at about 0.7% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

What this company does

Airbnb was founded in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown into a global community of over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2.5 billion guest arrivals in almost every country and region across the globe. Every day, hosts offer unique stays, experiences, and services that enable guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way. We operate a global marketplace connecting guests with stays, experiences, and services, collectively in over 220 countries and regions. Our offerings have expanded to include services and redesigned experiences, which launched in May 2025.

We operate with five key stakeholders in mind: our employees, shareholders, hosts, guests, and the communities we serve. Our commitment to making long-term decisions that benefit all these stakeholders is fundamental to our sustained success.

Our key strategic priorities include making our service better, bringing Airbnb to more parts of the world, and expanding what we offer. Over the past several years, we have introduced hundreds of new features and upgrades to our platform spanning nearly every part of our service from pricing to quality to customer support. Additionally, we are leveraging our global markets strategy, which includes a more localized approach to product updates and marketing to raise awareness and consideration in less mature markets. We are also extending our platform beyond stays with new offerings, such as Airbnb Services and redesigned experiences, with plans to continue to expand our business beyond travel accommodations using our multi-year product roadmap to help drive long-term growth.

We built our platform to seamlessly onboard new hosts, especially those who previously had not considered hosting. We partner with hosts throughout the process of setting up their listings and provide them with a robust suite of tools to successfully manage their listings, including scheduling, merchandising, integrated payments, community support, host protections, pricing tools, and feedback from reviews. In addition, we provide the Co-Host Network, which connects potential and existing hosts with co-hosts who can help manage their listings. Co-hosts are experienced hosts who provide personalized support based on the hosts’ needs, from listing setup to managing bookings and communicating with guests. In 2025, we continued to deliver host improvements, including updates to cancellation policies that make it easier for hosts to earn income, better pricing tools and price tips, and a refreshed messages tab.
