ERROR: type should be string, got "https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/14/airbnb-abnb-earnings-q4-2022-.html\n\nShares of Airbnb rose about 11% in extended trading Tuesday after the company released fourth-quarter earnings that beat analysts’ estimates on top and bottom lines.\n\nHere’s how the company did:\n\n\nEPS: 48 cents vs. 25 cents expected by analysts, according to Refinitiv.\n\n\nRevenue: $1.90 billion vs. $1.86 billion expected by analysts, according to Refinitiv.\n\nRevenue for the fourth quarter was up 24% year over year. Airbnb reported $319 million in net income for the quarter, up from $55 million a year earlier, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of $506 million, surpassing the $432 million expected by analysts, according to StreetAccount.\n\nIn its shareholder letter, Airbnb said it’s seeing continued strong demand at the start of 2023. The company said revenue in first quarter will be between $1.75 billion and $1.82 billion, above the $1.69 billion expected by analysts polled by Refinitiv.\n\nAirbnb said it made difficult choices to cut spending during the pandemic but has modestly increased its headcount over the past two years. The company said it expects to “continue hiring at a judicious pace in 2023,” and that, compared to 2019, its headcount is down 5% while revenue is up 75%.\n\nGross booking value, which Airbnb uses to track host earnings, service fees, cleaning fees and taxes, totaled $13.5 billion in the fourth quarter. The company reported 88.2 million nights and experiences booked in the fourth quarter, up 20% year over year, but below the 89.7 million expected by analysts, according to StreetAccount.\n\nAirbnb said in the investor letter that travelers are returning to major cities, which has historically been one of the “strongest areas” of its business. The company said domestic and short-distance travel continued to be strong, but it saw “even further improvement” in longer-distance and cross-border travel during the quarter.\n\nAirbnb said guest demand and supply growth remained strong throughout 2022.\n\nAverage daily rates decreased by 1% from a year ago to $153 in the fourth quarter. The company ended 2022 with 6.6 million active listings, which reflects an increase of over 900,000, or 16%, compared to 2021.\n\nAirbnb said it’s “particularly encouraged” by market share gains in Latin America, continued recovery within Asia Pacific and European travelers that are booking summer vacations early.\n\nThe company will hold its quarterly call with investors at 4:30 P.M. ET Tuesday."
