Airbnb opened 2026 with its strongest quarterly momentum in several years, posting Q1 revenue of $2.7 billion, up 18% year-over-year and ahead of the high end of guidance by roughly 2 percentage points. Gross booking value expanded 19% to $29 billion, marking four consecutive quarters of sequential acceleration, while adjusted EBITDA reached $519 million, up 24% year-over-year. The beat was broad-based: product initiatives, favorable FX, and monetization improvements all contributed. Management responded by raising full-year 2026 revenue growth guidance to low-to-mid teens and reaffirming an adjusted EBITDA margin floor of at least 35%.
